[edit] Biographical Information
Jordan Zimmermann made his major league debut with the Washington Nationals on April 20, 2009, beating the Braves with a solid pitching performance in which he gave up 2 runs on 6 hits and a walk in six innings. He was a teammate of Ryan Zimmerman - no relation - on that team. He made only 16 starts for the Nationals in his debut season, going 3-5, 4.63, but showing some excellent stuff in striking out 92 batters - against only 29 walks - in 91.1 innings.
On May 6, 2011, Zimmermann struck out the side on 9 pitches in the second inning in a start against the Florida Marlins. He was the 42nd pitcher in major league history to accomplish the feat.
He is not to be confused with Jordan Zimmerman, a pitcher from the 1990s, who spelled his last name with only one n.
