Re: Most impressive pitcher thus far?

You can mostly chalk Pettitte's numbers to luck, not great pitching performance.

He has a .265 BABIP and a 80.6% strand rate (2nd highest in the AL and 10% above league average) this year.

Cliff Lee and his insane 13.86 K/BB ratio. Price shouldn't even be in the debate IMO.

Impressive? Probably Cliff Lee and his K/BB ratio. The next closest pitcher to him is Roy Halladay... with nearly less than half the ratio.

you just have to rain on my parade . I attribute it more to skill. stats is not everything as he gets the job done in the clutch. yes he gets a giant advantage by having a superpower option but for his age i think he is throwing very well

I agree.

I'd recalibrate the OP's top 5 and go with:

1. Lee
2. Johnson
3. Halladay
4. Liriano (who is unfairly ignored from this debate)
5. Hernandez

There's no doubt Pettitte has improved from 2009. He's striking out more hitters and walking significantly less.

However, he's been the beneficiary of luck and improved defense. You just have to look past the flawed stat of ERA.
