He’s been nothing short of amazing, even with unprecedented hype. So as Stephen Strasburg faces the lowly Kansas City Royals is it ridiculous to think we may see him toss a no hitter today? Yes, the Royals (rather stunningly) are among the league leaders in batting average. Of course, it’s all singles and they have few hitters that any opposing pitcher fears.
Predicting a no hitter is a bit silly of course, it takes some luck and goes without saying is rather rare. But with Strasburg’s stuff it’s possible any time I suppose and against an offensively challenged team (again, despite their mis-leadingly high BA so far this season) it’s perhaps a bit more likely today. We’ll see at 4:35 ET.
