Sawyer Paul Strosnider (born June 26, 2005) is an American professional baseball outfielder in the Milwaukee Brewers organization.
Career
Strosnider was born on June 26, 2005, in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] He grew up playing baseball, following after his father, who played in college.[2] His family later moved to Texas, where he attended Brock High School and played as an outfielder, becoming a highly-ranked recruit.[2] Strosnider was a three-time all-state selection, the 8-3A MVP and first-team all-district at Brock.[3] As a senior, he batted .547.[3] Sawyer was considered a prospect for the 2024 Major League Baseball draft, but instead decided to play college baseball for the TCU Horned Frogs.[3]
Strosnider became TCU's starting right fielder as a freshman in 2025, although late in the season he served only as a designated hitter due to injuries.[4] He batted .350 and had an on-base percentage of .420, while hitting 13 doubles, 10 triples and 11 home runs with 51 runs batted in (RBIs).[5] Strosnider was the national leader in triples and also posted 10 stolen bases, becoming one of only four players since 2002 at the NCAA Division I level to record 10 or more home runs, doubles, triples and stolen bases in a season.[6] His batting average led the team while his 10 triples broke the school single-season record.[7] For his performance, Strosnider was named first-team All-Big 12 Conference, to the Big 12 All-Freshman and All-Tournament teams, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, first-team All-American and the Perfect Game National Freshman of the Year.[3]
Strosnider was regarded as a top prospect for the 2026 Major League Baseball draft.[8] He was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round with the 66th overall pick.[9]
