Sandy Alcantara Has Joined An Elite MLB Group With Latest Dominance

Sandy Alcantara has been a godsend for the Miami Marlins this year.

Acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in December of 2017 in the Marcell Ozuna trade, Alcantara quickly turned into the ace of the Marlins’ staff, known for his high-octane stuff.

He had himself a night on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals, throwing nine scoreless innings.

Though he didn’t receive a decision, the Marlins picked him up and won the game 2-1 in extra innings.

With his dominance last night, he joined an elite list of pitchers, becoming the most recent to throw at least 48 innings in a six-start period while allowing three runs or fewer.

The last MLB starting pitchers to make a run of 6 starts pitching at least 48 innings and allowing no more than 3 earned runs:

Alcántara, 2022
Arrieta, 2015
Kershaw, 2014 & 2015
Dickey, 2012
Verlander, 2011
Carpenter, 2005
Morris, 1986
Gooden, 1985
Fernando, 1981
Richard, 1979 https://t.co/YfVwD3kL9B

A List Of Greats

This is a pretty good list to be on if you’re Alcantara.

You’ve got Cy Youngs and even some MVPs on that list.

From Clayton Kershaw to Chris Carpenter to Justin Verlander, this list is stacked with some of the greatest pitchers to ever do it and Alcantara has just become a part of it.

He is without a doubt the ace of the staff, and last night he showed why, allowing just six hits, striking out six, and lowering his ERA to 1.61.

And to do that against a lineup that features Juan Soto, Josh Bell, and Nelson Cruz is even more impressive.

He’s quickly turned himself into one of the best and most underrated pitchers in all of baseball.

In fact, he has the second-best ERA in the National League, behind Tony Gonsolin of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who has a 1.58 ERA.

He could very well end up emerging as the NL Cy Young at the end of the season.

We’ll see what the rest of the season has in store for him.
