Single Season Pitching Record Watch (through 129 games)

WINS 26
Willie Oliva (NB) 11-5; 28 GS
CONTENDERS
Dan Henry (LV) 17-8; 28 GS
Pep Huang (ROC) 17-4; 26 GS
NOTES
Both guys are 9 wins away with about 7-8 starts left. Unless something spectacular happens as far starts are concerned, this record will be around for another season.

ERA: 2.16
Valerio Nunez (CIN) 3.11
CONTENDERS
Kenshin Ogawa (PHI) 1.95
Andre Jennings (NY2) 2.24
Ezdra Cruz (CLB) 2.39
NOTES
Ogawa, Jennings, and Cruz are all involved in the playoff race. This means they will get some chances to break this record in the near future. All three teams hold at least a 7 game lead, so their chances may come down to competition for seeding in their league.

WHIP: 0.94
Andre Jennings (NY2) 1.10
CONTENDERS
Kenshin Ogawa (PHI) 0.90
Wayne Roosevelt (NO) 0.99
NOTES
In addition to Roosevelt and Ogawa, there are four players with a WHIP under 1.10. Jennings has a good chance at being #3 on the list come the end of the season. Roosevelt’s Zydeco’s are in the process of trying to hold onto the number 2 seed in the NL, while the Freedom are trying to get the number 1 seed in the AL.

K’s: 270
Valerio Nunez (CIN) 193
CONTENDERS
None
Notes:
No chance here. He’s not even going to come close to breaking his own record.

SAVES 49
Jim Phillips (SEA) 29/31
CONTENDERS
Arthur Swift (CLB) 41/43
Logan Putnam (ROC) 36/42
Vic Pena (NY2) 35/40
NOTES
With 33 games remaining and Columbus winning at a record-setting pace, Swift has a very good chance to break this record, and potentially shatter it. Phillips should remain #2 after this season, but Putnam and Pena could give him a run for his spot since both teams are still alive in the postseason race.
