The Second Stroman

Suffolk's county's Marcus Stroman had a homecoming this season when he signed with the New York Yankees on a two year deal that will pay him upwards of $37 million dollars. While Marcus has had a solid first season with the pinstripes it's another Stroman that has the baseball world abuzz.

Medford's Jayden Stroman is the younger brother of the Yankees starter and he has already begun to open up the eyes of the baseball world. This week, at just 17 years old, Jayden was clocked at a remarkable 94 miles per hour. Stroman not only hit 94 from the mound but it's being reported he has hit 96 already at this young age from his shortstop position.

In a day in age where everyone is looking for the next great two way player, Stroman already has scouts discussing exactly that. Jayden got a nice boost from the hype world when Marcus posted a video of his picture perfect swing this week on X. In no time the video received over 100 thousand likes and even the most pessimistic observer could see that his swing has the makings of something special.

Jayden won the 2022 14 and under select festive player award and one scout has said he has been on the radar since he was a young teenager. The Stroman family, and Suffolk county, looks like they have another star on the horizon.
