Washington Nationals STEPHEN STRASBURG

Well just like the rest of the country I wanted to write about Stephen Strasburg, the rookie pitcher for the Washington Nationals. Last night was his Major League Debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Before watching the game and his highlights I had mixed feelings about him.  There has been so much hype about this kid. Yes he tore up the Minor Leagues, but that is a huge jump from there to the Majors.

I was excited to see how he would pitch and his composure. He did not cease to amaze the Nationals fans and baseball fans everywhere. He recorded 14 strikeouts in 7 innings pitched with 2 earned runs on 4 hits and 0 walks. Even though it was against the Pirates who have a team batting average of .236, it was still a professional team with big league players. He had a veteran-like composure about him. I was impressed and am interested to see what he is going to do this year and in the future. This will be an exciting kid to watch for sure! :) Anyways, regardless the Yankees will still win the World Series this year and make it number 28 baby!! :) Cheers!!
