For as long as Stephen Strasburg has been a member of the Washington Nationals, he has dealt with various injuries. The former first overall pick has definitely had his fair share of aches and pains and has struggled to stay on the field because of it.
Strasburg is always among the best pitchers in baseball when he’s healthy, but is rarely healthy long enough to make a huge impact. The Washington Nationals have made the playoffs three times and Strasburg has only been able to make one start due to injuries.
Now that the Nats have signed Strasburg to a seven year, $175 million extension, it is imperative that he stays healthy.
