MLB The Show: Corey Kluber's Cy Young Performance Boosted His Ratings

[RaychelSnr]

Winning the Cy Young award is the most coveted accolade a pitcher could strive for. Clayton Kershaw, the 2014 N.L. winner, sports a 99 as you would expect from the "best." But what about the A.L. Cy Young award winner Corey Kluber? In MLB 14 The Show, Kluber's rating was a 76. His rating this year got a generous bump to a 90. While this is a great rating, you have to ask yourself if the 90 rating is high enough.

Yes, because last year is only 50% of the overall rating.

That gif. made it really tough to read the article, yikes.

If SCEA is using 3 years, that first year brings his overall down. Just because he won the Cy Young does not automatically put him at Kershaw status. I think the distance from Kershaw is just about right.

He was actually an 86 or something in the initial ratings stream, so if he's a 90 now then I think that's good enough considering the ratings are weighted over 3 seasons. Another good season and he'll be in the upper 90's.

Klubes! 90 makes sense no more no less. If he weren't that high I'd make him that high.

[xCULLO]

90 is perfect, but once you break 90 there's no room for error.

Yeah, it's high enough. Let him prove he's more than a one hit wonder. He can be a 99 next year. Or a 95. Or even back to the mid 70's.
He'll be 29 April 10, so that's the red flag I look to the most. I'd feel better about his long term viability if he was 4 years younger. 2 cent opinion.
