Marcus Stroman has been a crucial figure in Chicago Cubs’ success over the last few games. He has done well while pitching with an ERA of less than two. Apart from pitching, he has been in the news after replicating a throw similar to the New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter.

Recently, the 32-year-old Cubs ace opened up about his throwing. He also gave an insight into his approach to making it successful during the game. Stroman also answered why it adds an impact to his game. Here is what he said:

Marcus Stroman is a shortstop from his hear

Stroman has been impactful with his throws while being on the mound. Watchmarquee shared a video of him answering questions about his throwing. The caption read,” He?s a shortstop at heart”.

Stroman said in the video, “I mean, I’m a shortstop at heart. I still am. I play shortstop in the second base in college, so I’ll go out there and take ground balls routinely.”

He then answers the question of his ever-improving thr0wing skills, “Part of the reason why I’m good mechanically is because I’m an athlete. People don’t understand that. I don’t just, I’m not just a pitcher, only I go out there, I throw from different arm angles, I go out there, and I keep my athleticism. I don’t become a robot, essentially.”

A jump that reminds of Derek Jeter!

Notably, Stroman has a jump that reminds the world of MLB great Derek Jeter. It is to be noted that the Yankees legend was one of the best throwers in the MLB during his playing days. He once shocked the world with one of the best throws with a ridiculous jump in the 1998 MLB season. Jeter was a shortstop too, which eventually goes with Stroman’s feeling of shortstop at heart.

Meanwhile, the pitcher has done well and has a win-loss record of 4-4 so far in the season. Stroman has an ERA of 2.95 and has claimed 54 strikeouts at a WHIP of 1.04. If the Cubs continue their good baseball for the rest of the season, they will remain in the race for the playoffs. Stroman would look to make a mark, and it will be interesting to see how he performs in the rest of the season. How many records will Stroman make this season? Only time will tell!
