I don’t think Cubs fans ever realized just how dominant Craig Kimbrel was this season. Sure, he was bombed in his first four games as he surrendered seven earned runs in 2.2 innings, but after that he may have been the game’s best reliever. Look at Kimbrel’s line after those first four performances:
12.2 IP, 1.42 ERA, 26 K, 7 BB, 4 H, 0.87 WHIP
Craig Kimbrel has 13 K's in 7.1 IP in September.
His WHIP is 0.41 and his ERA is 0.
