Starting pitching is an area that is
00:00:01
kind of in a crisis when it comes to the
00:00:03
Hall of Fame stuff. And that's why we're
00:00:05
going to fall short of the historic
00:00:06
averages is because the way that pitcher
00:00:08
workloads have changed, these guys I
00:00:10
mean we're seeing the disappearance of
00:00:12
the 200 inning guy, to say nothing of
00:00:14
the 20 win guy. And so we're getting
00:00:17
shorter careers, these guys are throwing
00:00:19
harder, they're more susceptible to
00:00:20
injury. There's all kinds of stuff going
00:00:22
on there. After Clayton Kershaw, uh
00:00:25
Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, and Zack
00:00:28
Greinke disappear from the scene,
00:00:30
it's not obvious who the next Hall of
00:00:31
Fame starting pitcher is going to be.
