A quick post here on Memorial Day for those checking in.
Roy Halladay is simply amazing: 11 games, 81 innings, 10 starts, 5 complete games. Perhaps the most impressive part of Halladay's domination is his efficiency, take a look at the pitches total of the top five inning throwers.
NAME | IP | PITCHES | P/IP |
Halladay | 81 | 1092 | 13.48 |
Blanton | 80.3 | 1230 | 15.32 |
Harang | 78.7 | 1233 | 15.67 |
Cook | 76.7 | 1064 | 13.87 |
Hamels | 76.3 | 1149 | 15.06 |
That's incredible, and assuming Halladay stays healthy it wouldn't a stretch to have him pegged for nearly 250 innings this season. The last player to do that was Livan Hernandez in 2004, he threw 255 innings.
