Top 50 Starting Pitchers for 2016 v.2
I published my early 2016 starting pitcher rankings back on August 12th, and a lot has happened since I published those early rankings, including:
- Jake Arrieta making a serious run for the National League Cy Young award
- Max Scherzer turning into Justin Verlander circa 2014
- Justin Verlander doing a complete 180 and pitching like the Verlander who was an ace for so many years
- Dallas Keuchel showing that his 2014 breakout is for real, improving his strikeout rate, and becoming the favorite to win the American League Cy Young award
- Clayton Kershaw pitching better than the 2014 Clayton Kershaw
- Danny Salazar taking the next step to becoming an ace in 2016
- Lance McCullers showing that he is one of the best young starters in the game
- Carlos Rodon settling in and making the adjustments he needed to become a more consistent major league pitcher
- Erasmo Ramirez overcoming early season struggles to put up a breakout season
Let's discuss who is ranked too high, too low, or someone I just whiffed on in the comments section below.
