Stephen Strasburg agreed $15.1 million deal

Stephen Strasburg the rocking San Diego pitcher agreed to a record $15.1-million deal with the Washington Nationals.

Strasburg, winner of the Golden Spikes Award as the top player in college baseball, led NCAA Division I pitchers with a 1.32 earned-run average and 195 strikeouts in 109 innings.

Stephen Starsburg  the no. 1 selection in the June draft agreed to the major league contract with a signing bonus of $7.5 million and annual salaries of $2 million in 2010, $2.5 million in 2011 and $3 million in 2012. He also gets a prorated share of the minimum major league salary of $400,000 this season.

However, the final moment of signing was a real drama, it was just ahead of a midnight deadline on the East Coast, only 77 seconds were left on the clock, when the Washington Nationals got Strasburg signed up.
