Stephen Strasburg may be the next big pitching sensation in the National League.
But in the American League, another group of young aces are setting the pace.
Three pitchers who are 25 or younger are tied for the AL lead in wins.
New York’s Phil Hughes (age 23), Tampa Bay’s David Price (24) and Boston’s Clay Buchholz (25) each have eight victories this year.
Right behind them with seven wins are Boston’s Jon Lester, Minnesota’s Kevin Slowey, and Cleveland’s Mitch Talbot, all of whom are 26.
Major League Baseball is ushering in a new, exciting age of young superstar pitchers, a refreshing change from the slugger-dominated steroid era.
