The consensus top talent available in this year's draft, Stephen Strasburg has been nothing short of dominant for the Aztecs this season. Stephen put himself on the map with a stellar freshman year at San Diego State as the team's closer before being named the New England Collegiate Baseball League's top prospect in summer ball by Baseball America. Moved to the rotation for his sophomore season, Strasburg again turned heads with brilliant performances, such as a 23-strikeout game against Utah. As a junior, he pitched a no-hitter on May 8th against Air Force, a game in which he struck out 17. Flashing a 100 mph fastball and a plus-plus slider, Strasburg hasn't looked back. The 2009 Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Year has a bright future ahead of him.
