Here he comes.

21 year old Stephen Strasburg should be called up to the Nats before the All-Star Game.
He had his 3rd start last night in Double A.
5 no hit innings with no walks. 1 passed ball on strike 3 allowed the only base runner.
He has pitched 17 innings allowed 7 hits with 23 SO's and only 3 Walks
Did I mention the 0.52 ERA.

His speed is not up to the reported 103MPH we heard last year in college, but is steady at 98.
I had no idea he had this much control, if he has any movement at all it will be interesting.

As a Caveat:
The other 100mph plusm 22 yr old. Aroldis Chapman is dominant but a bit wild.
Over his three previous starts this season, Chapman has a 0.60 ERA, 10 walks and 18 strikeouts over 15 innings.
