After running my analysis yesterday, I don't think they're being as dominant as we thought they were, which is good. On a league wide basis, this version is as tightened up, as I've seen it, in a long time. A .300 AVG, 100 R, 200 H, 30 HR, and 100 RBI, are incredible accomplishments. 20 W, 200 K, and a sub-3.00 ERA are also incredible accomplishments.
The stud pitcher of your RL favourite team, is wiping the floor of his peers, which include Koufax, Gerrit Cole, Saberhagen, a very young Fernando Valenzuela, Pedro Martinez, Noodles Hahn, Firpo Marberry, Catfish Hunter, Wilson Alvarez, the shockingly good Glendon Rusch, and recent arrival Vinegar Bend Mizell. "Prince Hal" Newhouser easily leads in my favourite trifecta, of career rWAR, WAR, and WPA. When I sort for rWAR, only he and Saberhagen have sub-3.00 career ERAs, and Hal bests Sabes 2.87 to 2.96. He's one behind Bill Hill in Wins, 105 to 104, and is the all-time leader in IP, and K. When I sort for rWAR, he's also the only guy on there with fewer than 8.0 H/9. More CS against him, than SB, and very few attempts for a guy that's pitched so much. A dominant ace, who's also an innings eater, with 7.77 IP/GS.
All of that, and still only heading into his age 26 season. He's a beaut.
