Steven Trone brings strike-throwing relief value with swing-and-miss upside
Trone profiles as a useful right-handed relief arm for The Citadel because he has shown he can miss bats and handle traffic, including 17 strikeouts in 16 innings in 2024 and a strong 3-strikeout escape against Rutgers in a pressure spot.[1] His strengths are competitive poise, the ability to work out of jams, and enough contact suppression to keep him playable in short bursts, though his recent results suggest more steady command and consistency are needed before he looks like a shutdown option.[1] If your team wants a gritty bullpen piece rather than a finished product, he is worth a look.[1]
