After
tossing his first no-hitter this past Friday, does San Diego
State junior Stephen Strasburg have anything left
to do? Here’s the highlights from his 2009 resume (courtesy of
San Diego State's
site):
-
Owns a 11-0 record in 12 starts in 2009.
-
Won his last seven starts and has a 0.90 ERA in his last
seven starts (6 ER/60.0 IP).
-
Allowed 0 earned runs in 36 of his last 37 innings pitched
and four earned runs total in his last 47 innings of work
(0.77 ERA).
-
Pitched his first career no-hitter against Air Force (May
8), with 17 strikeouts. 2 walks shy of a perfect game.
-
Has an active streak of no earned runs allowed in his last
17.2 innings.
-
In six road/neutral starts this season he is 6-0 with a 1.01
ERA (5 ER/44.2 IP).
-
Has a current streak of no earned runs allowed in his last
21 inning pitched on the road.
-
Leads the nation in strikeouts (164), strikeouts per nine
innings (16.9) and ranks second in ERA, third in wins and
seventh in hits alowed per nine innings.
-
Struck out at least 11 batters in 11 of his 12 starts this
season.
-
Has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13
starts dating back to last season.
-
Issued two walks or fewer in 24 of his 25 career starts.
-
Had a streak of 57 consecutive innings where he allowed one
run or fewer broken in the seventh inning of his April 24
start vs. TCU.
-
Won last nine home decisions dating back to last season.
-
Has 70 strikeouts in his last five starts covering a span of
39 innings.
-
Pitched a 23 strikeout game last season.
-
After
Strasburg, the “next best” line of pitchers starts with Arizona
State junior Mike Leake; Leake notched his 12th
win this past week, making it a win in each and every week since
opening day; Leake sports a paltry 1.47 ERA and 104 K’s compared
to only 18 walks over 97.2 innings; any other year, Leake would
top the list of most dominating pitchers in division I baseball;
but this is the Year of Stras…
-
Also
appearing on that “next best” list is Missouri junior Kyle
Gibson; Gibson stood-out as a statistical oddity this week
when I compared this week’s statline to last weeks; Déjà vu?
Check out his statline
from last week and compare it to this week below…
-
With only
1 more start left to finish his college career (assuming he
signs when drafted next month), Vanderbilt junior Mike Minor
is looking to go out on a strong note; he started his statement
this past week with a complete game win, logging double-digit
K’s; a couple of impressive outings to finish the year should
put him on the bubble to break into the late 1st
round…
-
Red-shirt
Clemson sophomore Josh Thrailkill made his 3rd
appearance of the season and first since March; Thrailkill went
one inning giving up no runs and allowing 1 hit…
-
San Diego
junior A.J. Griffin logged his 2nd straight
complete game; but this week’s outcome stood in stark contrast
to the loss he suffered last week; while last week Griffin
allowed 7 earned runs on 7 hits, this week he only gave up 1
earned run on 5 hits, fanning 8 and issuing just 1 walk…
-
UNC
sophomore Matt Harvey is anxiously awaiting the end of
the regular season next week; Harvey definitely experienced a
“sophomore slump”; this past week he allowed 8 earned runs, the
third week this year he allowed 7 or more, while posting an ERA
of 13.85, the fourth time this year he had a weekly ERA of 9.00
or higher; touted as an “ace in coming” for UNC after a
remarkable freshman campaign, Harvey’s follow-up has been less
stellar than expected; keep an eye on him during off-season
summer league play, possibly in the Cape Cod League, to get a
feel for what to expect next season when he’s draft-eligible…
-
This
year’s crop of USA Alumni hitters have, as a group, largely
disappointed; one of the exceptions is Fresno State junior
Tommy Mendonca; Mendonca’s power has really started to
take-off as of late as he notched his 9th and 10th
round-trippers over the past month; Mendonca’s 22 total HR’s
this season far outpaces Auburn sophomore Hunter Morris
and his 12 HR’s; and when comparing the group’s offensive
numbers from 2008 to this year, Mendonca is one of the few to
actually make significant progress; after the end of the regular
season we’ll be posting everyone’s 2008 numbers in a comparison
chart with the final 2009 numbers…
-
One of the
other players to make a significant leap forward is Arizona
junior Dwight Childs; Childs went from relative obscurity
last year to being in the discussion as a potential, but still
unlikely, first-day draftee (rounds 1 through supplemental 3rd);
may not sound as crazy as you might think, due exclusively to
Childs playing a premium position (catcher)…

Don't forget, cumulative season statistics are now located
on a different page; click the link in the menu bar on the
left...
-
There's so
much more that we just can't get to, but the weekly stats below
and cumulative season stats
HERE should give you an idea of who else is hot and who's
not; check back next week for
more updates...
