Dead ball era pitchers need not apply.

Seaver was real good in 1971, but lost the Cy Young to Jenkins......

1953 Warren Spahn 23-7 2.10 ERA

One other tidbit about Spahn. He hit at least 1 home run for 17 consecutive years.

1945 Hal Newhouser yes it was a war year, but nobody else has numbers close to his

Not including the ones mentioned...

Not a huge fan of Verlander but his 2011 was very nice. Maybe not top 10 worthy but it deserves a mention.

Roger Clemens 1990 - 21-6 1.93 ERA 209 K's. 2nd in Cy Young
Roger Clemens 1997 - 21-7 2.05 ERA 292 K's
Lefty Grove 1931
Randy Johnson 2001 and 2002
Tom Seaver 1971
Jake Arrieta 2015 - 22-6 1.77 ERA...2nd half of the season 12-1 0.75 ERA is pretty crazy
Dwight Gooden 1985 - 24-4 1.53 ERA 268 K's
Walter Johnson 1913 - 36-7 1.14 ERA 29 CG's, 11 Shutouts 0.780 WHIP, 259 ERA+
Koufax 1965 - 26-8 2.04 ERA, 384 K's 27 CG's 8 shutouts, perfect game, Cy young, WS MVP
Babe Ruth 1916
Moredcai Brown 1906 - 26-6 1.04 ERA, 253 ERA+
Christy Mathewson 1909 - 25-6 1.14 ERA, 26 CG's, led league in FIP, ERA+, WHIP, H/9, BB/9 and SO/BB ratio

Which one is the greatest or what would be a top 5 list? (I won't include anything earlier than 1950)

Not in order my top 5...
Bob Gibson 1968
Pedro Martinez 2000
Roger Clemens 1997
Dwight Gooden 1985
Sandy Koufax 1966

Greg Maddux 1995 (shortened season is close too)

rmilia1 · Jul 16, 2019

Arrieta 2015 22-6, 1.77, 235 ERA+, .86 WHIP, 236-48 K to BB, No-hitter. Not sure if it's too 10 all time but definitely one of the best this century if not the best ( 2001-present)

pretty good 1-2 punch in cleveland that year

mcdowell 1.81 era with 283 Ks and 15-14 record just shows how Wins are a team stat in 37 starts he gave up 4 runs twice and 6 runs once plus threw in an 11 inning shutout :suds:

navamind · Jul 16, 2019

I'd also throw in 1999-2002 Randy Johnson (four consecutive seasons with an ERA+ above 180, pitched at least 248 innings each year)

Still hurts me a little to see him wearing a Diamondback hat on his plaque.

All time great seasons for starting pitchers.
