Strasburg was also the first pitcher in history to strike out at least eleven batters without walking a batter in his professional debut, coming one strikeout short of the all-time record for a pitcher’s debut.

Strasburg also struck out at least one batter in the Pirates’ lineup and struck out the last seven batters he faced, a Nationals record.

He hit 98 miles per hour (158 kilometers per hour) or faster on 34 of his 94 pitches, including two that hit 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour).

Strasburg pitched in 12 games, all starts, in 2010, accumulating 68 innings, 92 strikeouts, and a 2.91 ERA. He was a pitcher for the Topps Major League Rookie All-Star Team in 2010.
