Travis Sykora Strikes Out Nine in First Start at High-A
Washington Nationals pitching prospect Travis Sykora dominated in his High-A debut on Sunday. The team's top-ranked prospect tossed four scoreless innings for Wilmington, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out nine of the 13 batters he faced. The 6-foot-6 righty struck out 129 batters in 85 innings last year at Single-A, registering a ridiculous 39.2 percent strikeout rate. After just two starts there this season, the Nats promoted the former third-round draft pick, and he looks like he's up for the challenge so far. The 21-year-old should get a taste of Double-A by the end of the year, and at this rate, he could be in line for a major league debut sometime next year. With the type of strikeout numbers he's putting up, dynasty managers should be on high alert.
