Projecting Stephen Strasburg's Career with MLB 2K10

Earlier this summer, baseball fans everywhere witnessed one of the most anticipated professional debuts in the history of the game. When Stephen Strasburg took the mound against the Pirates on June 8, the entire sports world watched in anticipation. With a 100-plus mph fastball and devastating curveball, Strasburg exceeded expectations in his first start, throwing even more coal into the furnace of a hype train about to break the sound barrier.

The day after his first start MLB 2K10's MLB Today debuted Strasburg's virtual doppelganger with an overall rating of 87, which made him one of the top 15 pitchers in the game. Since Strasburg has continued to impress in each of his real life starts (until he went on the DL) and has quieted many naysayers (myself included), I wanted to take a peak into the future of Strasburg's career and see just how good/bad/or indifferent his Major League career could be using MLB 2K10. Utilizing the "Living Roster" from 6/18, I simulated Strasburg's entire MLB career.

So how did the most exciting prospect this side of Ken Griffey Jr. fair according to MLB 2K10? Here's a hint, Nationals fans will be very happy but not exactly for the reason you may think. Read on to find out.

Is there a rating for likelihood of injury?

I think he will fare better. I would take a 216-226 career record if it meant 3 strait World Series and 2 titles. I think the strikeouts will be higher by far. As for a 20 year career let him get season 1 done 1st.

Crazy in 20 years, he never got traded. lol I highly doubt that he will stay with the Nationals his entire career, and that could effect his overall record depending on run support and ballpark dimensions. But interesting nonetheless.

ERA is a pretty mediocre stat, and wins are worse. If he had that many K's, assuming he didn't walk the world and/or give up a ton of homers, it sounds like he was a pretty good pitcher.

So by 2k10's account Strasburg is basically a middle of the pack 3rd or 4th starter.
