BP's Kevin Goldstein on Stephen Strasburg

Stephen Strasburg, RHP, Nationals (AFL: Phoenix)
Yesterday's stats: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 K

On Monday afternoon, Strasburg hit 99 mph on the radar gun 18 times, 100 mph seven times, and tossed in a single 101 mph fastball for good measure. He needed just 68 pitches to get through his five innings, 43 of them for strikes. All the panic from his one bad start is pretty much gone, with one scout in Arizona saying that he's the best pitcher he's ever seen in a league he's been scouting for over a decade.
