Ranger Suárez wrapped up an impressive 2021 campaign on Friday, throwing seven shutout innings against the Miami Marlins. He’ll end the season with a minuscule 1.36 ERA in 106 innings. Per the Phillies, he’s the first MLB pitcher since 1912 to throw five innings or fewer in the previous year and 100 innings or more in the next season with a sub 1.50 ERA.
Suárez’s historical season isn’t getting much attention on a national scale. Part of that is due to being on a team that’s not in playoff contention.
