One of baseball's best pitchers this season isn't even listed among the league leaders, and was left off the American League All-Star team. Nathan Eovaldi is 6-0 with a 0.47 ERA in six starts for the Texas Rangers since the beginning of July.

Eovaldi is now up to 13 quality starts on the season -- five of which have come over his last seven outings -- and he sports a 1.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 120:21 K:BB across 123 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next weekend at home against the Guardians.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is in the midst of a historically good season. He is not among the statistical best in baseball this season according to league leaderboards. That may change soon.

Through a starter’s first 19 outings of a season, Eovaldi’s 1.38 ERA is the fifth-lowest ever, trailing only Bob Gibson (1.06, 1968), Luis Tiant (1.27, 1968), Zack Greinke (1.30, 2015), and Vida Blue (1.37, 1971).

He wasn't supposed to be the best starting pitcher at baseball at age 35. Then again, he wasn't supposed to become a World Series icon or a Texas Ranger legend, either. What if the Cy Young Award is next?

With low ERAs essentially the only thing either Eovaldi or Crochet had over Skubal, he has gained an edge in this year's AL Cy Young battle. The 2024 Triple Crown winner is pacing the league in WAR at 5.6 in what may be an even more dominant campaign than his superb 2024 season.
