What more can be said about Mike Minor? He’s established himself as one of the top pitchers in Major League Baseball, holding the third lowest ERA among starters and the fifth most innings pitched. He is 8-4, has yet to miss a start and is one of three pitchers to have thrown two complete games in 2019. His second came last night in a Texas Rangers win over the Detroit Tigers.
More and more, we’re hearing murmurs of “Cy Young” when Minor is the topic of conversation. He steps to the mound every five days with a certain swagger that he hasn’t had in years past.
