Tarik Skubal is the best pitcher in baseball, winning back-to-back AL Cy Youngs and with better overall numbers in 2025 than he had in 2024. It’s possible he’ll be even better in 2026 whether he’s with the Detroit Tigers or, as we dream about, the New York Mets.
Everyone knows he’s the mound GOAT. MLB’s X account found a way to make a former Mets player look even better.
Using only bWAR, the WAR value on Baseball-Reference, they ranked the best players in this category who debuted specifically in 2020. The winner was Andres Gimenez.
