Winning AL Pitcher of the Month in April was only the start of a magnificent first half of the season for Logan Gilbert. During the month he went 3–0 with a 0.40 ERA (1 ER, 22.1 IP) and 22 strikeouts with just 4 walks has proved to be a starting point, rather than a peak.
His 0.40 ERA was the lowest ERA in a single month in Mariners history among pitchers with at least 20.0 innings, surpassing Mark Langston’s 0.50 ERA (3 ER, 53.2 IP) in Sept. 1988.
That early season success has proved to be a starting point, rather than a peak.
