Cale
Stricklin

UGA Commit. 6-foot, 185 pounds. This tough backstop just continues to impress me more and more each look I get. I’ve only had a few, but it doesn’t take long to see this is an SEC talent. On his throws downs specifically, Stricklin shines. This is an A/AVG catch & throw right now. Due to constantly moving around for video, I did not get a pop time on him but it was shockingly quick. He’s already registered a 1.85 pop time with us in 2021, so he very well could be plus catch & throw in game. Especially with the rocket (A/AVG MLB) attached to his right arm. He’s an advanced receiver, blocker, and leads the pitching staff with ease. Up to 88 on the mound this night, Cale is undoubtedly going to be getting some mound time at UGA. His FB played like 90 with serious riding life, and the mid 70’s ish CB has the potential to be a power downer he has very good feel for in any count. We haven’t even gotten to the hitting yet, where Stricklin had 2 oppo lasers right at the RF and CF. He shows an exceptional feel for the inside out swing, which also creates a disciplined knob led path for him to create backspin off the inside seam just as well on the inner half. Great look here.
