WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Friday of left-handed reliever Tasker Strobel.
In his third season with the Goldeyes in 2025, Strobel appeared in 46 contests and compiled a 3-5 record with a 3.60 earned run average. His performance earned him a spot on the 2025 West Division All-Star roster.
The Avon, Indiana native previously pitched for the Goldeyes in 2024, and in 2022 when he served as the team's closer.
Strobel made his professional debut in 2017 with the Joliet Slammers of the Frontier League after two seasons at St. Joseph's College (Rensselaer, IN).
Overall, Strobel has posted a 15-22 record with a 4.17 ERA and 32 saves in his professional career, spanning eight seasons and 235 games.
"Another franchise all-time great, Tasker is returning for us, and we are extremely excited," said Goldeyes' field boss Logan Watkins. "He's one of our unquestioned clubhouse leaders, and he delivered for us time and time again when we needed him last year. The best part about him is that he's always willing to pitch if he feels good enough, regardless of whether he pitched the night before. We are going to rely on him a lot again this year, and I know he is excited to be back in Winnipeg."
Winnipeg now has 15 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.
