2022 Review
Let’s start with a brief recap of Gallen’s season.
- 31 games started, zero games on the IL
- Fourth best ERA in the National League
- Fifth best ERA+ in the NL
- Sixth highest WAR total for a pitcher in the NL
- Best WHIP in the NL
- Best H/9 in all of Major League Baseball
I probably could end this article right there, and no one would leave the site wonder why Zac Gallen easily took the top spot in our rankings this season.
