Stephen Strasburg
He was named an All Star in his rookie year (2012)
Strasburg's journey to the major leagues began at West Hills High School, where he was a talented but raw prospect. He refined his skills at San Diego State University, where he became one of the top collegiate pitchers in the country. His performance earned him a spot on the United States national baseball team, where he helped secure a bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Strasburg's highly anticipated MLB debut in June 2010 did not disappoint, as he set a franchise record with 14 strikeouts in his first game, immediately establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with.
However, Strasburg's career was not without challenges. Just months into his rookie season, he suffered a torn ligament in his pitching elbow, requiring Tommy John surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation process. Despite this setback, Strasburg made a successful return to the mound in 2011 and continued to build on his early promise. By 2012, he was selected to the MLB All-Star Game, and in 2014, he led the National League in strikeouts, further solidifying his status as one of the premier pitchers in the game.
Strasburg's crowning achievement came in 2019 when he played a pivotal role in leading the Washington Nationals to their first-ever World Series championship. His performance in the postseason was historic, as he tied the record for most wins in a single postseason with five victories and became the first pitcher in MLB history to win five games in a single postseason without a loss. For his efforts, Strasburg was named the 2019 World Series MVP, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest pitchers in Nationals history.
