Eighteen (18).

Boy, oh boy: June 9th can't come soon enough. Nat's presumptive #1 pick Steven Strasburg strikes out 18 in his latest effort (via The San Diego Union Tribune):

San Diego State's Stephen Strasburg, as has become his custom, piled up the strikeouts in Thursday's game at USD.

The Aztecs All-American struck out 18 in eight innings against the Toreros, the third time in three starts Strasburg has reached double-digit strikeouts. Strasburg now has 45 strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings.

...All this after falling behind for the first time in 2009 following just the 2nd HR given up in his college career.

(YouTube clip above is Strasburg striking out USD's Zach Walters looking to end the 2nd - strikeout #3 of 18.)
