Stephen Strasburg, last year's number one overall in the majors, a 21 year old who, until last night, was the best pitcher in the world not in MLB.
Last night he pitched his first MLB game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and won 5/2 including 14 Ks. Including the last seven he faced. Before the game he was being compared to everyone including eventual flame outs David Clyde and Todd Van Poppel. After the game he was being compared to Roger Clemons, Bruce Sutter and Mariano Rivera.
He was close to untouchable.
Now he just has to do it everytime he pitches.
No pressure.
Just save the franchise kid.
