When he came up he was special, could throw a ball through a brick wall with control and had a wicked breaking ball. He had several really good years but it never quite worked out the way it was supposed to.

I remember that Captain Outrageous signed Al Hrabosky to a seemingly never-ending contract... Strasburg's 'end' along with deGrom and now Ohtani reminds us how difficult it is to remain healthy throwing a baseball overhanded. Let's all just be glad we got to see them for their short zeniths. .

I didn't notice it when I saw him pitch, but apparently there were concerns about his mechanics throughout his career. Likely contributed to his ongoing issues.

Strasburg put his body through hell, and got compensated for it. I was reading how he has trouble opening doors with his right arm, and holding his children. Hopefully it will clear up, as he rests, and enjoys his long retirement.

Hopefully he can find a part time job to supplement his income.

Got to see him pitch right behind home plate, aisle seat row 19 back in 2018 with my best bud. They played Rockies, had Harper on their team, and boy were they loaded. That game had the whole Nationals lineup, and you talk about raw all-time baseball talent on their roster. It was a late September game, they didn’t make the playoffs, it was in CO and they broke the team up. My bud died of a heart attack the next year, and of course Harper was a in Philly. I wont forget that game for many reasons.

And they had a strong and talented team for a few years. Funny that they won after Harper left.

I could be wrong, but I read he was the antithesis of Prior. Prior was actually a guy who scouts thought had perfect mechanics coming into the draft. He was given as an example of a pitcher who did everything right, but still got bit by the injury bug. His mechanics might have suffered later on when he was overcompensating for his earlier injuries. |

I believe this contract/extension will go down as the worst in the history of baseball. Last 4 years prior to his retirement he has barely played for his team and only a few games a year
