Strasburg Mania: Washington Nationals' Stephen Strasburg Is the Real Deal

Stephen Strasburg threw a gem in his MLB debut for the Washington Nationals. He struck out 14 batters in seven innings.

Strasburg will be the best pitcher in the MLB for a long time.

Ever since his college days at San Diego State, Stephen Strasburg has been advertised to be the No. 1 pick in the MLB Draft whenever he took the mound.

He has a nasty fastball that topped over 100 miles per hour and made half of Pirates' batters miss. This is his favorite pitch to get players out. This will be one of the best fastballs in the MLB.

Washington Nationals' Steven Strasburg Is "The Kid" Of A New Era In MLB

Over 21 years ago a young slugger with incredible defensive skills made his debut for the Seattle Mariners.

In Ken Griffey Jr.'s first at-bat in Seattle he hit a home run.

With it, the Seattle fans saw a glimpse of the 20-year-old kid's beautiful swing that would dominate the sport's future. It was 1989 and for the next decade baseball would live and die by the popularity of the home run.

Mike Stanton's Debut Overshadowed By Stephen Strasburg's

Two of baseballs' most touted prospects premiered in the MLB tonight, but sadly one was quite overshadowed by the other. 

Mike Stanton, the young Marlins outfielder who was just called up today went 3-5 with two runs was the one who was sadly overshadowed by the toast of town in Washington, Stephen Strasburg.

Pelfrey Dominant, Davis Wins It For Mets Over Padres

NEW YORK-- When will the Mets ever lose another home game? It looked like they were on their way to one tonight, but after nine strong innings from Mike Pelfrey, Ike Davis won it in the 11th.

The Padres, entering the Mets' home with the NL's best record, took an early lead. Three batters in to the game, the Padres took a 1-0 lead on an RBI double by Adrian Gonzalez.

The Padres wouldn't score another run for the rest of the game. Just maybe that would be enough for them to win.
