Junior pitcher Stephen Strasburg was named to the U.S. Olympic baseball team last Wednesday and will pitch in the Olympics next month in Beijing. Strasburg has dominated international opponents already this summer, boasting a 2-0 record, a 1.33 ERA and a squad leading 39 strikeouts with the U.S. National Collegiate Team. He becomes just the fifth Aztec baseball player in history to play in the Olympics joining Chris Gwynn, Flavio Alfaro, Travis Lee and Royce Ring.
