It feels like just yesterday that Stephen Strasburg made his debut for the Washington Nationals. He mowed down the Pittsburgh Pirates with an electric arsenal that included a 98mph fastball, 82mph curveball, and 90mph changeup.
Even as recently as 2017, he was able to average 96mph on his fastball, 83mph on the curveball, and 89mph on his changeup. He even incorporated a 90mph slider to give his arsenal a bit more bite.
Unfortunately, he’s suffered through more than his fair share of injuries that have taken their toll. He has ended up on the DL 11 times in his career with various issues, including a few to his shoulder and elbow.
