This kid is amazing. Right now he has an ERA of 1.15. He also has a league leading 13 wins. He could become the first pitcher since Denny McLain in 1968 when he had a record of 31-6. Right now Jimenez has a record of 13-0. When Denny McLain did it he didn't have an amazing ERA, though. Jimenez is a very gifted pitcher. He has not been publicized a lot because he plays for Colorado where there aren't any good pitchers because of the elevation, but that's what makes this kid more special. Most pitchers that pitch in Colorado have terrible ERAs, but this guy has the best in the league and possibly could have the best ever at the end of the year if he keeps the pace up. This means that if he ever gets traded to some American League team in the midwest or east he could be an ultra awesome pitcher. Right now if he continues his pace he will get 30 wins or more. If you haven't even heard of him there is a reason. He plays in Colorado, there are so many other good pitchers getting no-hitters and perfect games. He did get a no-hitter earlier this year. Also, a young pitcher named Stephen Strasburg has stolen all the thunder for young pitchers. Just like we haven't heard very much about Lincecum anymore. Its old news now. Everything is about this new phenom Strasburg. To me, the best young pitcher in the league and maybe even the best pitcher in the league right now overall is Ubaldo Jimenez.
