Career
Amateur career
Strzelecki graduated from Santaluces Community High School in Lantana, Florida. He attended Palm Beach State College, where he played college baseball in 2014 and 2015.[2] He transferred to the University of South Florida to play for the South Florida Bulls.[3]
Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers signed Strzelecki as an undrafted free agent after the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[4] In his first professional season, he played for the Arizona League Brewers and the Helena Brewers while pitching to a cumulative 5.52 earned run average (ERA) in 27+1⁄3 innings pitched.[5] He played for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and the Carolina Mudcats in 2019 and recorded a 3.05 ERA in 59 innings.[5]
He did not play a minor league game in 2020 as the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Returning for the 2021 minor league season, he pitched for the Biloxi Shuckers and the Nashville Sounds. Between the two teams, he pitched in 40 games and went 0–2 with a 3.46 ERA.[5]
He began the 2022 season with Nashville before having his contract selected to the major league roster by the Brewers on May 30, 2022.[7] He made his MLB debut on June 2. On October 4, Strzelecki earned his first career save after tossing a scoreless ninth inning in a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.[8]
Arizona Diamondbacks
On August 1, 2023, Strzelecki was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for pitcher Andrew Chafin.[9] He made one appearance for the Diamondbacks down the stretch, pitching a scoreless 1+1⁄3 innings against the San Diego Padres. Strzelecki was optioned to the Triple–A Reno Aces to begin the 2024 season.[10] However, he was designated for assignment by the team on March 25 following the promotion of Tucker Barnhart.[11]
Cleveland Guardians
On March 28, 2024, Strzelecki was traded to the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for cash considerations.[12]
Personal life
Strzelecki grew up in Boynton Beach, Florida with two brothers and one sister. He started playing baseball at a young age and later on became a dual sport athlete playing high school basketball and football as well.
While Strzelecki was pitching at South Florida, his father, Kevin, died of a heart attack at age 52.[13]
