As Eovaldi ages, he turns away from overpowering opponents with a fastball and instead relies on deception from the best pitch in his arsenal.

Through a starter’s first 19 outings of a season, Eovaldi’s 1.38 ERA is the fifth-lowest ever, trailing only Bob Gibson (1.06, 1968), Luis Tiant (1.27, 1968), Zack Greinke (1.30, 2015), and Vida Blue (1.37, 1971).

One of baseball’s best pitchers this season isn’t even listed among the league leaders, and was left off the American League All-Star team.

Eovaldi is now up to 13 quality starts on the season -- five of which have come over his last seven outings -- and he sports a 1.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 120:21 K:BB across 123 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next weekend at home against the Guardians.

Eovaldi dominated the Yankees, allowing just one base runner across eight shutout innings on a night when they mustered just two hits total in a 2-0 loss to the Rangers at Globe Life Field.

Nathan Eovaldi impresses with another scoreless performance, strengthening his Cy Young candidacy with a 1.38 ERA.

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is in the midst of a historically good season. He is not among the statistical best in baseball this season according to league leaderboards. That may change soon.
