Hyun Jin Ryu (+275)

After handling a plethora if accidents earlier in his big league career, Ryu has caught fire of the final calendar year and is very much in the lead in the NL Cy Young race at the moment.
Ryu currently leads the big leagues using a ridiculous 1.35 ERA on the season. The funny part about that is it may not even be his most remarkable stat as he’s also sporting an unheard of 0.56 BB/9 rate. To put it differently, it is taking him roughly 18 innings to walk a batter this season. Simply incredible.
It is not simply this season that Ryu has been dealing as he produced an eye-popping 1.97 ERA across 15 starts last season and he posted a 1.88 ERA across 52.2 innings after coming back from injury in August. Pitchers just don’t return from a three-month absence to dominate this league quite frequently but Ryu’s completed it in spades.
If injuries hadn’t limited him to only 108 starts since appearing in Los Angeles at the 2013 period — and making 30 starts — he’d be looked upon as among the very best pitchers in baseball.
Here are his MLB ranks considering making his North American debut in that 2013 effort.
Luis Castillo (+750)
What a difference a year can make.
This time this past year, Castillo was one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball — by the numbers — as his first half 5.49 ERA was the third-worst markers of qualified MLB starters, ahead of just Lucas Giolito — very much an AL Cy Young candidate this season — and Jason Hammel.
Jump ahead to the next half of the 2018 season and Castillo crafted a 2.44 ERA to rank eighth among qualified novices and sixth on the NL side of things.
He was even better across the board. The strikeouts picked up to 9.36 percent innings, the walks dropped to some stout 1.90 per nine and 3.17 xFIP more or less encouraged his fine work down the stretch last season.
