This guy is just amazing.. 10-1.. 0.79ERA I believe..

Where in the world did this guy come from? His stats are like all the best pitchers put together

...never?

I mean, obviously he's not gonna have an ERA under 1 all year but he's got filthy stuff. Make no mistake, he's legit.

The only thing that has held him back in the last few years has been his ability to locate, but he was still an above-average pitcher last year. So he likely won't implode.

He's getting fantastically lucky right now...his Fielding Independent Pitching suggests that his ERA should be around 2.62, which is still great but not historically so. I'd expect him to finish the season somewhere around 20-8 with an ERA between 2.50 - 3.00 and a WHIP in the 1.10s.

He's had the fastest heater in the league for the two years prior to this one and again this year. He's got some filthy stuff.
