Pitching Statistics Interpretation

When not casually rehabbing with perfect zeroes or flirting with triple-digit heat, Shohei Ohtani has been reliably and historically dominant on the mound, posting a career ERA a full run better than the league average while striking out batters at a phenomenal rate, though his workload is often limited by the very dual excellence that makes him a unicorn.
