In his final outing before the regular season begins Stephen Strasburg looked strong, showing good fastball velocity and a devastating change-up. He went 5 1/3 innings, allowing six hits and one run, while walking two and striking out six.
Fantasy Impact
Any worries over the minor injuries Strasburg suffered during the spring (in-grown toenail, sprained ankle) should be put to rest with this performance. His first start is scheduled for April 9 at home against Matt Harvey (NY Mets).
