Jack Flaherty just completed a tremendous sophomore season. He finished fourth in National League Cy Young voting on the strength of a 2.75 ERA, 4.7 fWAR, 80 FIP-, and absurd 0.91 second half ERA. He established himself as the star that the Cardinals’ deep roster has so desperately needed in recent years. This is all in addition to an impressive rookie campaign in 2018. He conveniently turned 24 on the exact day the season ended, meaning he tidily has two complete seasons (and some light change from 2017) through his age 23 season. It’s a nice cut-off for us to find some historical comps for what he has accomplished in his career to date.
