Why isn't he getting more attention? He's having an unbelievable season and has been by far the best pitcher in baseball this year.

1.96 ERA

.80 WHIP

 

A few more K's and he'd be in Pedro-in-his-prime territory. Carrying a .80 WHIP this late into the season is ridiculous.

 

Thank god for Mark Mulder.

Because hes on a bad, small market team. Look as Ray Halladay. Easilt one of the top 3 pitchers in the game, but the only reason he gets any fn fair is because of trade talks.

Being on a bad small market team didn't stop Zack Greinke from being the most talked about pitcher in the first half and landing on the cover of SI.

 

And Roy Halladay has always gotten plenty of attention.

Right now that WHIP would be the fourth best ever for a single season.

 

Pedro Martinez (2000): 0.7373

Guy Hecker (1882): 0.7692

Walter Johnson (1913): 0.7803

Dan Haren (2009): 0.8043

Not as jawdropping, but still astonishing:

 

Whiff %

Cutter: 37%

Splitter: 39%

 

It's got to be very rare to find a pitcher with 2 pitches in a full season that each elicit a swing and a miss circa 40% of the time.
