STEPHEN STRASBURG SIGNED RAWLINGS OFFICIAL MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL LIMITED EDITION ENGRAVING AUCTION DESCRIPTION This Rawlings Official Major League Baseball showcases a perfect hand signature from pitching phenom, Stephen Strasburg. Strasburg used a blue ball point pen to autograph the sweet spot of this baseball. This baseball has been engraved below Strasburg's signature with "Stephen Strasburg #37 Washington Nationals 2009 First Overall Pick MLB Debut - June 8, 2010 7.0 IP 2 ER 0 BB 14 K's". After being the first overall pick of the 2009 MLB draft, Strasburg made his major-league debut on June 8, 2010, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. A Sports Illustrated columnist termed it "the most hyped pitching debut the game has ever seen." Strasburg picked up the win in his debut, pitching seven innings, allowing two earned runs and no walks and 14 strikeouts, setting a new team strikeout record. Further, he was the first pitcher in history to strike out at least eleven batters without issuing any walks in his pro debut, while falling just one strikeout short of the all-time record for a pitcher's debut. He struck out every batter in the Pirates' lineup at least once, including the last seven batters he faced—also a Nationals record. He threw 34 of his 94 pitches at 98 miles per hour or faster, including two that clocked 100 miles per hour. read more
