Duke in the MLB: Stroman strong in debut

(09/15/15 6:12am)

After watching his team ascend to the top of the standings in the American League East behind the additions of shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and pitcher David Price, Marcus Stroman was finally able to make his return to the mound for the Blue Jays this past Saturday. Stroman—the first Duke baseball player to ever be drafted in the first round of the MLB draft—enjoyed a successful rookie campaign in 2014 with a record of 11-6 and an ERA of 3.65. But in spring training, Stroman tore his ACL during fielding drills and was placed on the 60-day disabled list. After spending the summer rehabbing in North Carolina and finishing his degree at Duke, the pitcher made his return to the field in just under six months. The former Blue Devil took to Twitter to express his gratitude for being able to take the mound again.
