How many Cy Youngs should Pedro have?
I know ERA+ wasn’t used much then, but his 1.74 ERA was well over an earned run better than the next guy on the list. And Pedro did all this in a hitters park! A place where routine flyballs hit to left field turned into doubles.
When arguing who the greatest pitcher ever was, one should include that Pedro Martinez was the best pitcher in baseball four times, not three. And there was a fifth time, too, where it wasn’t all that far-fetched to say that Pedro was the greatest pitcher alive.
