Blue Jays pitcher releases 2nd collaboration with former Duke teammate
Marcus Stroman has found a new way to shine.
The Blue Jays pitcher had been teasing a collaboration song with rapper and close friend, Mike Stud, on social media this week, and on Sunday night fans finally got what they were waiting for.

Stroman's walk-up music for the upcoming season was suddenly an easy choice, because what better music to walk out to than a track that has your own bars on it?

Stroman made his rapping debut last winter on another Mike Stud track called "These Days" where he references his comeback from ACL surgery and partying in Las Vegas with teammate Josh Donaldson.

Before sharing the stage, Stroman and Stud's friendship started with them sharing the mound.
The duo met as Duke Blue Devils teammates, where Stroman split time between starting pitcher, second base and shortstop and Stud was a closer before Tommy John surgery ended his big league dreams.

Needless to say, fans (and teammates) were pretty psyched that Stud and Stroman had teamed up again in the studio.

With only 132 days until the start of the MLB season, Stroman is definitely making the most of his off-season.
