Oooops.

Pretty Amazing that Buch has 2 slots in the top 45, but he never did it with 180+ IP. (That was always his downfall.)

Thanks for enlightening us on Clay Buchholz... all this time, we only knew him as the millionaire star pitcher who married a Playboy Playmate.
Would Buch be more famous today, when starters pitch less innings than ever before?
In 2013, 64 pitchers threw at least 180 innings.
In 2023, only 25 pitchers had 180 IP -- less than one guy per MLB team.
Buchholz would be famous for leading MLB in pitch clock violations…
