The most remarkable thing about the career of Josh Tomlin may be the longevity that he’s enjoyed despite pitching, well, unremarkably. A former 19th-round pick, Tomlin rose through the ranks with the Indians and made his debut in 2010, beginning a span of nine years during which he would appear in a uniform with Cleveland. Tomlin took the ball 183 times for the Tribe and logged 898.2 innings, including five seasons where he topped 100 frames.
Only once during his eight full seasons, though, has Tomlin produced an adjusted ERA- of lower than 100, or better than the league average.
