Stephen Strasburg didn't exactly ease into his first spring training start.
Washington's right-hander flashed a couple of 98 mph fastballs and threw a few more at 97 in Washington's 8-1 win over Houston on Saturday.
"Have some dad strength in there," Strasburg said. "I guess it just shows all the hard work in the offseason, it's still there. It's just about being smart and listening to the arm, putting in the work in between starts and keeping it there for the whole season."
