WATCH: Matt Strahm collects baseball cards of every player that goes yard against him

Matt Strahm is an absolute freak and his baseball card collection proves it.

The Phillies have been complete dog shit over the past month. The Phillies are 4-7 in the month of August after a miserable 10-14 in July.

They just got blanked at home by the Miami Marlins 5-0 – but regardless, in a recent interview, Matt Strahm talked about his baseball card collection addiction and touched on one thing that he does every time an opposing player hits a home run off him.

Strahm makes sure to get an autographed rookie card of the players who hit home runs off him – which heading into the All-Star game consisted of 54 players.

No word on if Strahm was able to secure two more cards for the dingers he let up post All-Star Break but check out this psycho talking cards in a recent interview with Topps.

Speaking of that, Strahm, en route to his first MLB All-Star selection, went 4-1 in before the break with a 1.49 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP in 36.1 innings pitched. 

Things haven’t gone too well for Strahm and the Phillies in general since then. He’s 0-0 with a 5.19 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP over 8.2 innings of post All-Star break.
