Matt Strahm is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for pitchers heading into Week 6 (2023). Target Strahm as a free agent pitcher on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of any size
ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues
ANALYSIS: You saw Matt Strahm's name in the table above way up there with a 36% K% on the year. So I figured we should talk about him next. The problem for Strahm's fantasy value is that the pitch counts have been absurdly low.
Just when it looked like we were creeping up toward 90 pitches, the Phillies yanked him after just 60 pitches. And he was pitching great in that start last week as well with five strikeouts, no runs, no walks, and two hits allowed in 5.1 innings against the Mariners.
If we thought he would be held under 75 pitches every time out, I would not recommend adding him – and I'm still not saying he's some "must add" guy right now, but the strikeout rate is impossible to ignore. The lefty is a good source for strikeouts at the very least while we see how the Phillies will use him moving forward.
