Nationals Will Pick San Diego State Star First In June MLB Draft

Back in March we told you about San Diego State pitching star Stephen Strasburg, a player some scouts are calling the greatest college baseball prospect ever.

The Washington Nationals are primed to select San Diego State star pitcher Stephen Strasburg with the No. 1 overall pick in next month’s draft, sources said. The Nationals will not be scared off by the high price tag expected to be set by the right hander Strasburg, which is believed to be $50 million-plus.
