Stephen Strasburg was clocked at a new high Friday night against Nevada, throwing 102 mph seven separate times. His velocity, coupled with the location of his pitches, helped Strasburg to 16 strikeouts in the Aztecs' 5-2 victory at Tony Gwynn Stadium. ?He was throwing good, in rhythm," said SDSU manager Tony Gwynn. "The ball was down. He's pitching. You can't ask for any more than that.?

The Angels collected multiple high draft picks because of the compensation they'll receive from losing free agents Mark Teixeira, Francisco Rodriguez and Jon Garland. The Angels will have two first-round picks, at Nos. 23 and 24.

Pitcher Stephen Strasburg from San Diego State is considered the consensus No. 1 pick in this June's amateur draft, meaning he could soon be a member of the Nationals. Washington general manager Jim Bowden has called Strasburg "as good a pitcher as we've seen in the draft in 10 or 15 years." Strasburg has good command and a great fastball, which has hit over 100 miles per hour. "I've even heard 103," Strasburg's pitching coach, Rusty Filter, said. "I don't want to be quoted on that, but others have told me."
