The Washington Nationals are the hottest team in baseball, rising from fourth place in the NL East to now being in the top Wild Card spot in the league. A lot of that is due to their top notch starting rotation, which includes Stephen Strasburg. On Thursday, Strasburg showed Josh Donaldson just how nasty his stuff when the Nationals faced off against the Atlanta Braves. Strasburg unleashed a curveball so devastating, that it dropped Donaldson to his knees.

Absolute filth from Stephen Strasburg, who looks primed and ready to do some damage in the postseason. But will he be a member of the Nationals by the 2020 season opener? We'll see.
