5/2/12 - After coming back from Tommy John Surgery late last year, the former number one overall pick was looking for a dominating year. He's off to a good start. Strasburg was voted the National League Pitcher of the Month for April. Strasburg went 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 32 innings over 5 starts. This is the first of many monthly awards of Strasburg's career. Led by Strasburg, the Nationals' pitching staff is the best in the Majors with an ERA of 2.40. Strasburg's April has led the Nationals to a 15-9 record and has them in first place in the National League East.

4/28/12 - As a 16 year old he was dubbed "Baseball's Chosen One" by Sports Illustrated. In 2010 he was the Number 1 pick in the MLB Draft. Two years later, the Washington Nationals top prospect, Bryce Harper, made his major league debut. At the age of 19, Harper was called up from Triple-A Syracuse because of an injury to Ryan Zimmerman. Never has there been a player with as much hype surrounding him as Harper. On Saturday April 28, 2012, he made his debut batting 7th and starting in left field. Harper got his first major league hit in the seventh, lining a double to centerfield. He also gave the Nationals the lead with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning for his first career RBI. The Nationals ended up losing the game 4-3, but even with the loss, Nationals fans and other baseball fans were excited about the potential career Harper could have.

While the team has only played .500 baseball through its last 10 games, the Washington Nationals remain atop the National League East, tied with the Atlanta Braves with a 14-8 record before their final April game on Monday. Stephen Strasburg has bounded back strongly from surgery last season and has put together a 1.13 ERA through his first five starts, as well as 34 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched. Called up this past weekend for his first stint in the big leagues, rookie phenom Bryce Harper went 2-6 with a double, walk and a sacrifice fly. The Nationals hope that Harper can provide them with an added boost to keep themselves at the top of the division.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the young 2012 Major League season is that of the Washington Nationals. The team is currently 12-4 and in first place of the highly competitive National League East. Outfielder Jayson Werth has led the offensive fight with a .322 batting average, while the pitching staff has been paced with strong starts from Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmerman. Strasburg is 2-0 with a 1.08 earned run average and 25 strikeouts, while Zimmerman boasts a 1.29 ERA and a 0.71 WHIP through three starts. The team will have a big series against the NL West-leading Dodgers this weekend.

The Washington Nationals have high hopes for the 2012 season after a speedy recovery from young phenom Stephen Strasburg has invigorated the young team to a 3-2 start on the season. After completing his rehab from Tommy John surgery, Strasburg went 7 innings on Opening Day, allowing only one run and striking out five through 82 pitches. Offensively, the team has been paced by first basemen Adam LaRoche, who has hit 2 home runs and driven in 6 runs through the team's first five games. The Nationals begin series against the New York Mets and Cincinnati Reds this week, looking to improve upon their good start.

It's been tough sledding during the Washington Nationals early years, but the team looks to take big steps forward in the NL East in 2011. Back-to-back No. 1 overall picks and future stars Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper compliment All Stars Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman. Werth and the Nationals agreed to a seven year deal worth $126 million in December, bolstering a line up that saw slugger Adam Dunn leave in free agency.
