Would Felix make it in for the last spot, or was the math incorrect?

Whoa, my math was wrong. I had him at 7 hits instead of 1. That puts him at 37.9 and in the 37th slot. Thanks for pointing that out.

Even better than I tallied up! Woot woot for my dude...sorry for Tom Seaver. This is a pretty neat list by the way!

Kershaw is following up his no-hitter with another shutout through 8 innings. Not sure if that will get him into the Top 50, but awesome performance nonetheless.

So right now, he is sitting at #34 on the list. Let's see if they send him out for the 9th after 108 pitches and a 1-0 lead.

Looks like Jansen wrapped the game up.

Damn, a clean inning with a few Ks would have got him to 41.5 pts and put him into a tie for 12th. Amazing back to back games nonetheless.

What's insane is that he's actually upped his K's dramatically and cut his BB's almost in half from last season when he had an ERA under 2...

Mr. Corey Kluber joining Antonelli, Newhouser, and Hershiser with 40 points.

May 13 & 18, 2015: 17 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 30 K .....that's Pedro-esque!

So I stumbled upon this thread looking for the hitting one (can someone say, Mookie?) so I thought I would add a couple more from last year, as I thought these guys might have had a couple top 50's from 16'....close but no cigar.


Clayton "Numbers don't lie he will end up being the GOAT" Kershaw with 40.5 points in 2015:

7/18-7/23: 17IP 6H 0ER 0BB 25K



Jake "Can't touch this" Arrieta with a cool 38.5 points in 2015:

8/30-9/5: 17IP 4H 0ER 1BB 19K

Thought Volquez could make the list with his last 2 starts but falls short with a combined score of 34 points

6/3-6/8: 16IP 3H 0ER 4BB 18K

Still a great string of starts, he wouldn't be a guy I'd have guessed to throw a no hitter this year.
