The Milwaukee Brewers signed Strzelecki as an undrafted free agent after the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[4] In his first professional season, he played for the Arizona League Brewers and the Helena Brewers while pitching to a cumulative 5.52 earned run average (ERA) in 27+1⁄3 innings pitched.[5] He played for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and the Carolina Mudcats in 2019 and recorded a 3.05 ERA in 59 innings.[5]

He did not play a minor league game in 2020 as the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Returning for the 2021 minor league season, he pitched for the Biloxi Shuckers and the Nashville Sounds. Between the two teams, he pitched in 40 games and went 0–2 with a 3.46 ERA.[5]

He began the 2022 season with Nashville before having his contract selected to the major league roster by the Brewers on May 30, 2022.[7] He made his MLB debut on June 2. On October 4, Strzelecki earned his first career save after tossing a scoreless ninth inning in a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.[8]
