Stephen Strasburg gave up five home runs in his three seasons at San Diego State.
He’s allowed two homers this spring for the Nationals.
[Editor’s note: Please don’t assume you’ve subscribed to the wrong report. At least not yet.]
In 2009, Strasburg’s junior year at SDSU, he was taken deep four times in 109 dominant innings (195 strikeouts, 19 walks, 65 hits, 1.32 ERA) en route to one of the most unsurprising 1.1 selections in MLB Draft history.
One of those four times was on April 24 that spring, when, heading into the seventh inning, he’d blanked TCU at home on one hit (an infield single), punching out a dozen as his Aztec teammates had staked him to a seemingly insurmountable 4-0 lead.
