Strasburg Looks Good But Not Dominant

[jjgold]

He seems that he is not going to be a high power strike out pitcher

Teams seeing ball well against him

Effective pitcher but not nearly as dominant as first few games.

[Fishhead]

He may never be able to LEARN how to complete a game with this silly pitch count of the NATS.

Forming bad habit

He might be like a Halliday type in his prime which is excellent

He does seem more hittable now

Although pitchers struggle in heat

[babyanni]

he hangs the curve at times. that pitch/inning count thing is so weak

[Intuitive_Edge]

People love to hate, but hes worth every bit of the hype so far.

[rm18]

he is the 3rd best in the game right now

[juuso]

He's excellent pitcher and will likely just get better.

Tell that to Kerry Wood and Mark Prior ...

To say that Strasburg looks 'good but not dominant' is terribly ignorant; maybe he looked 'hittable' yesterday vs one the best offenses in basball in one of the top pitcher parks, but seriously --

The innings/Pitch count is being done correctly so far -- although Id like to see them them try to stretch his pitch counts up a bit by the end of the season to the 105 range -- and hopefully to the 110+ range by mid next year

But, course, we have no biometric data on Stras' pitching motion and whether he is susceptible to alteration due to fatigue and and which point that starts with him.

He seems that he is not going to be a high power strike out pitcher.

Just another example of JJ running off at the keyboard to meet his posting quota...
He struck out 7 in 5.2 innings. That's a rate of 11.13 per 9 innings pitched. I think that qualifies as a "high power strike pitcher".
