Stephen Strasburg’s 2019 campaign wrapped up with an impressive World Series MVP-worthy performance as the 2009 No. 1 overall pick went (5-0) with a 1.98 ERA, a 2.39 FIP, four walks, 47 Ks, and a .221/.239/.368 line against over six games, five starts, and 36 1⁄3 innings pitched in the postseason.
Strasburg finished the regular season (18-6) with a 3.32 ERA, a 3.25 FIP, 56 walks, 251 Ks, and a .210/.271/.349 line against in 33 starts and 209 IP.
The start of the 2020 campaign was delayed for the 32-year-old right-hander, who had a nerve impingement in his right wrist causing discomfort, but after time off, bullpen work, and a sim game in Nationals Park, Strasburg got the go-ahead to return to the rotation in Sunday afternoon’s series finale with the Baltimore Orioles.
