As you can see there, Strasburg gets consistently hit hard throughout his outing. He reportedly had the velocity that we are used to seeing, and his breaking ball was pretty sharp, he just couldn't locate it very well. And when you miss your target professional baseball players, even those of the low Class-A Lexington Legends will make you pay for it.
