Huskies in the Pros (Baseball)

This tidbit was in a Fangraphs column today about Mitch Keller's lack of run support.

By comparison, 7,006 out of 9,018 qualified pitchers in AL/NL history have won 10 games. There have been 812 20-win seasons, 126 25-win seasons, and 21 30-win seasons. The record for wins in a season is 41, set by Jack Chesbro of the New York Highlanders in 1904. That’s probably the most unbreakable major record in the book. (At least for a starting pitcher. Put me in charge of the Dodgers and give me permission to run Ben Casparius into the ground, and I bet we could make a run at 40-plus wins out of the pen.)
 
What a season:


Strange year for Kyler so far - 8th best BA on his team among regulars at .252, but leading the league in HR's. Kind of feast or famine, but his strikeouts are reasonable and leads the team in walks.
 


-> "That was some of the most fun I've ever had playing ball," Gallagher recalled. "All those guys on that team were such good ballplayers. The culture that (coach Jim) Penders builds at UConn is unmatched. The guys jell together, find a way to win. We're gritty, we get up early for lifts and find a way to win ballgames. It's pretty cool, looking back at what we accomplished there. Obviously, we came up short. But I have no doubt that Penders is going to lead them to Omaha sometime soon. He's one of the best coaches I've ever played for, and I respect him a lot." <-
