Ranked among MLB players who qualify (W, IP, K: 10+ games; ERA, WHIP: 100+ IP) that season; only the top 50 are shown. How each stat qualifies: glossary.
| GP: Games the player appeared in, however briefly. | W: Games in which this pitcher was credited with the win. | L: Games in which this pitcher was charged with the loss. | ERA: Earned runs allowed per nine innings pitched — lower is better.

Around 1.00 is elite. | ||
