Washington Post: Stephen Strasburg struggles in his third rehab start

Pitching for the Hagerstown Suns of the Class A South Atlantic League, Strasburg was rocked for four hits — three of them doubles to the wall — and five earned runs by the visiting Lexington Legends while recording just five outs, three of them by strikeout. Three runs had already scored and 25 pitches had left Strasburg’s hand before he recorded his first out of the game.

Strasburg’s velocity was fine, as his fastball sat at 96 to 98 mph and touched 99 mph at least once on the radar guns of scouts behind home plate. He also broke off a handful of excellent curveballs, some of which were virtually untouchable. What was missing was the command Strasburg displayed in breezing through three dominating innings for the high-Class A Potomac Nationals five days earlier.

“The bottom line is, if I throw fastballs that are just a hair up like they were today,” he said, “they’re going to get hit a country mile, anywhere.”
