Top in the WHIP and top three in a bunch of other things. What's his story?

Ah. We have to go into a wayback machine to get into Scooter's story. First of all, I know the Yaghmour name was entered into my names list after a discussion we had about how Ayag Mour got his name.
Scooter entered the Southern Commonwealth Youth League in 2307 with the Hope Firestarters, which joined the CYL in 2309. Scooter played in 2307, part of 2308, and 2310 with the Firestarters. He was injured in 2308 and missed all of 2309.
In 2310, he was 6-7 with a 2.32 ERA in 20 starts. In 131.2 innings, he struck out 157 batters. At the end of his senior season, Yaghmour was drafted by the champions, Nordhagen Beach, with the 28th pick overall.
The Party Boys traded him before the 2311 season to Nahant in a trade that landed Jacob Tarberry in Nordhagen Beach. Tarberry ended up making the All-Star game in 2311. For Yaghmour, he pitched in the GBRL with the Celtics' Croup Manor Inspectors, where he went 11-3 with a 3.21 ERA.
In 2312, Yaghmour went 6-5 with a 4.90 ERA in the BMU with the Brockton Irish. On June 11, he was traded to Cambridge and placed on their GBRL team, the Scrap Palace Attack Dogs, where he went 4-4 with a 2.63 ERA.
In 2313, the Coursers promoted Yaghmour to the CBO team as a reliever. Towards the end of the season, he got four starts (guessing), giving him 57 games appeared and four starts. At the end of the season, he was 2-4 with one save and a 4.27 ERA.
In 2314, Yaghmour became a most-time starter for Cambridge, apperaing in 33 games with 28 starts. He finished the season with a 10-7 record and a 4.04 ERA.
In 2315, he became a full-time starter, getting 32 starts on the season. He finished 14-12 with a 3.55 ERA and was selected to the All-Star Game.
This season, he is having a dominating season, holding a 9-1 record with a 1.81 ERA in 14 starts. He leads the CBO in strikeouts (89), K/BB (4.9), K/9 (7.7), BB/9 (1.5), rWAR (4.7), and Win% (.900). He is in great shape to be the Vim! Pitcher of the Year in the NCA if he maintains this pace.
