Strasburg played for Tony Gwynn at San Diego State before the Nationals chose him with the first overall pick in the 2009 draft and signed him to a record contract worth $15.1 million. His college resume includes a 23-strikeout game, a no-hitter, and a 1.32 Earned Run Average in his final (junior) season.
