These images make it seem like these players were from the 80s lol
Why use 1500 PA and 500 IP when the generally agreed upon standard to be considered qualified for leader boards is 3000 PA and 1000 IP?
This entire post is becoming an Ohtani glaze just as OP wanted
people don’t realize how good ohtani is as a pitcher tbh
Of course the one and only, the man the myth the legend, Shohei Ohtani, is the only pitcher with a batters helmet and the only pitcher on the batters list. True greatness right there messieurs et mesdames.
Rangers GOAT Jacob deGrom
For those who wanted to use min 1000 IP
pitchers by ERA
* Jacob deGrom 2.57
* Chris Sale 3.01
* Max Fried 3.03
* Blake Snell 3.15
* Gerrit Cole 3.18
* Zack Wheeler 3.28
* Logan Webb 3.38
* Luis Castillo 3.55
* Sonny Gray 3.58
* Sandy Alcantara 3.65
lol of course he’s on both. also seems like Skubal has a good chance to join the under 3.00 ERA club after next year
I hope we finally get a fully healthy season of Yordan.
Goddamnit Shohei, you are insane
That’s an amazing pic of Skubal honestly.
I think your cool picture is wrong here bud, you got Ohtani on both sides
Why limit it to just starters rather than minimum innings pitched? Kenley Jansen and Craig Kimbrel are both *well* over Ohtani’s IP. If you’re going to include him (when he’s only thrown even low end starter innings 3 times in 8 years), then it seems like you should be including the relievers too, imo.
Yeah but can he catch a routine flyball in the 5th inning of the World Series?
Aaron Judge Is Really Good At Baseball!
Kershaw is clearly first ballot HoF… question is: Is it a unanimous vote? (I think so)
I just want to point out that Clayton Kershaw tossed 2855.1 innings in his career, and finished with a 2.53 ERA. It’s impossible to overstate just how dominant he was in his prime
Scherzer hasn’t retired
Max Fried gets so much undue disrespect it’s so frustrating seeing casuals doubt him when he signed with the Yankees and then trash him after subpar postseason starts sometimes I feel like only Braves fans understand just how great of a player he is
I know many are going to disagree but I really think Degrom makes the Hall when its all said and done.
Wait one of those guys is on both charts
Imagine a player being in the top 5 on both these lists. That would be outrageous.
Noob question here, because from what I’ve watched Skubal and Skenes are both insane… is Skenes not on here because of his team?
Judge needs to be arrested
