Strike Man

Strike Man (ストライクマン) is a Robot Master from Mega Man 10. He can attack by throwing a powerful fastball, as well as by spinning and bouncing himself around like a ball.

He was a batting-practice robot for a stadium before he malfunctioned due to Roboenza. In one incident, he purposely hit a batter that he disliked with a pitch, sending him to the hospital. He also gets upset when he gives up too many hits.

Strategy
Strike Man starts off by throwing Rebound Striker at you while rolling and bouncing around.

On Hard Mode, Strike Man has a new attack in which he jumps to middle of the room and begins to spin around, tossing four Rebound Strikers at a time. Once he lands, he is dizzy for a brief moment.

Triple Blade is his weakness as it can destroy Rebound Striker and hit him multiple times from close range.

Trivia

 * Strike Man is the third Robot Master to perform an attack involving turning into a ball and bouncing. The other two are Blizzard Man and Clown Man.
 * Strike Man is the first sports themed robot master.
 * Due to color limitations, his chest crystals are orange in his sprite, when they are green in his official work.
 * Also due to color limitations, his glove is orange instead of brown like in his official work
 * His weakness to Triple Blade may be a reference to the fact if you get three strikes in baseball, you are out.
