Well it was just your typical bright and sunny day in Florida today… and oh yeah, Stephen Strasburg made his first start in the Florida Instructional League. I covered the game for MiLB.com and for the mere fact that I wanted to see this guy pitch and I can tell you I was not disappointed that I went. I thought he looked good in his first start maybe just a tad on the nervous side, but can you blame him.

Strasburg allowed one run and three hits in the 2 innings that he pitched. He started off his pro career by striking out the first batter he faced and had one other strikeout in the first inning.

The one thing that surprised me was that there were only a few photographers at the game. One of the photographers I know and he had flown in for the game. There was also a few people from the local papers and some fans but it was not near the amount that I thought it was going to be.

I only stayed at the game for a few innings after Strasburg left the game so I could upload my photos to MiLB.com and to start heading home. Below are few of my other photos from the game and be sure to check the photos MiLB used today too.
