Kolby Stringer’s Rise from Barn to Big League | MLB News
Description
Kolby Stringer, an 18-year-old Mississippi pitcher, exploded onto the scene with 202 strikeouts in his high school season—more than his entire hometown population. Standing 6’3” and packing 225 pounds, he’s a physical force with a fastball that jumped from 94 to 97 mph. Once ignored by scouts, he now has 20-30 watching him, thanks to relentless work in the weight room and mechanical tweaks. He honed his craft in a barn bullpen he calls his “pitching lab,” and even had LSU’s head coach drive 3.5 hours to secure his commitment. Already eyeing a splitter and sporting his signature yellow gloves, Stringer’s story is pure underdog magic—and he’s poised to be a major draft target whether he heads to college or the pros.
