one of the main transition points was adjusting to a defense that could back him up, something he didn't have in his first year as a national
but it seems like he has become a bit too comfortable with those guys behind him, because his strikeout numbers have been rather low (~5 a game as opposed to his last season of ~7 a game) and the hits against him are piling up ever so slightly
now obviously this is affecting his pitching, with a 1-4 start (he was 15-6 last season) to the season, he's not the same dominant guy on the hill with almost 200 strikeouts in 28 games that we saw last year
finding that balance point between pitching to contact and pitching for strikeouts will be something to work on this time around with strasburg coming off his extended rest period and hoping to complete his first full season in the bigs
