Marcus Stroman is a pretty intense guy. When he's on the mound, he's locked in, and there's nothing on his mind but getting outs and winning games. And by "nothing," we do mean nothing -- up to and including whether a batter has stepped out of the box or not:

Don't worry, he didn't lose Internet connection during his start against the Tigers on Friday night -- he's just focused:

So locked in and in my own world out there! Lol ?
