Washington Nationals Sign Strasburg for Record $15 Million

College Baseball Camps

The Washington Nationals knew they needed to sign No. 1 overall draft pick Stephen Strasburg, and they did.

They needed him because of his pitching talent, his 100 mph fastballs and knee-buckling breaking balls. They needed him to ramp up the remaking of a last-place team on pace for a second consecutive 100-loss season. And they needed him to create a good vibe around a team that's suffered sagging attendance at a new stadium and all manner of bad publicity.

The easy part was drafting Strasburg in June. The hard part was getting him to agree to a contract by the deadline of midnight as Monday turned to Tuesday.

Washington got it done, agreeing with Strasburg on a record-breaking contract worth about $15 million over four years. The struggling team and the hard-throwing right-hander resolved everything at "11:58 and 43 seconds," Nationals president Stan Kasten said.

The deal is worth roughly 50 percent more than the previous highest guaranteed deal for a player in baseball's amateur draft, the $10.5 million pitcher Mark Prior(notes) got from the Chicago Cubs in 2001.

Strasburg gets a four-year contract covering 2009-12 that will pay him slightly more than $15.1 million. The exact amount depends on prorating his $400,000 salary for this year, based on the date the contract is official.

If no agreement had been reached by the deadline, the team would have relinquished its rights to Strasburg. A year ago, Washington failed to reach an agreement with its first-round selection, Missouri pitcher Aaron Crow.

At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, and with a fastball that can reach 100 mph, Strasburg is projected to be precisely the sort of power starter the Nationals have lacked since moving from Montreal to the nation's capital before the 2005 season.

Strasburg went 13-1 for the Aztecs last season, leading Division I pitchers in ERA (1.35) and strikeouts (195 in 109 innings), and won the Golden Spikes award for the top U.S. amateur baseball player.

The expectation is that Strasburg will join third baseman Ryan Zimmerman(notes) as one of the faces of a rebuilding franchise heading to its fourth last-place NL East finish in five seasons.

The Nationals hope Strasburg can help boost interest in the team. Since opening their $600 million-plus ballpark for the 2008 season, the Nationals have had a hard time attracting fans: They are averaging about 23,100 spectators this season, worse than all but two NL clubs.

Whatever the PR benefit to the signing, the Nationals are most excited about Strasburg's ability to throw a baseball.

After all, highly touted rookie starter Jordan Zimmermann(notes) needs reconstructive elbow surgery and is expected to be sidelined for the next 12 to 18 months. Plus, the five pitchers currently holding spots in Washington's starting rotation are a combined 16-23 with a 4.52 ERA this season.

Q. What should I bring to my baseball camp or showcase camp?

A. Many times the camp itself will have a recommended list of items to bring to camp, but here are a few things to help you. All position players should bring a bat and glove. Look like a baseball player by wearing a hat, jersey, belt, baseball socks, etc. You need to look the part. If you are a catcher, have your own gear. Hitters, bring your bat and helmet just in case. Don't expect to use the college's equipment and you must be ready to go! Borrow something from a teammate or coach if you do not have one.
