"After watching the World Series the past few nights and watching former beloved Nationals starter Max Scherzer still dealing at the age of 41, it's hard not to get flashbacks of better days with the Washington Nationals. Just 6 years ago, around this time, the team was on the verge of going to a winner-take-all Game 7 in Houston, and now there is almost nobody left in the organization from that time."
"As of Monday, Strasburg's alma mater, San Diego State University, announced that Strasburg had been hired by the school as a special assistant to head baseball coach Kevin Vance. As part of the move, Strasburg "will lend his support to all aspects of the Aztec baseball program, including fundraising and special events, along with alumni and donor relations. In addition, he will serve as a team mentor to improve the student-athlete experience, while offering assistance in pitching development.""
Stephen Strasburg, the 2019 World Series MVP, retired from baseball after prolonged health issues following a seven-year, $245 million contract. San Diego State University hired Strasburg as a special assistant to head coach Kevin Vance. Strasburg will support fundraising, special events, alumni and donor relations, mentor student-athletes, and assist with pitching development. The role enables Strasburg to reengage with baseball in a less physically demanding capacity while sharing professional experience. The 2019 postseason remains a touchstone moment, and few players from that Nationals roster remain with the organization.
