My God, can a reliever lead the league in WAR?

And he needs to close games from here on out.  He's way, way more efficient than Bautista.

Damn, the year Wilhelm put up 7.6 rWAR he mostly started.

If Yennier Cano leads the league in WAR this year (he probably won't, but let's just have some fun here) I think they're going to have to have a referendum on the WAR equation.  There's no way Cano could be as valuable as someone like Mike Trout.

Can one of you clever fellows clone Cano so we can have one as a set up man and the other as a closer? He's just so good right now.

Would be easier if they can just teach this one to throw with both hands.

For him to lead the league in WAR he'd probably have to pitch about 90 innings of shutout or near-shutout ball.  I imagine he can give up like, 1-5 runs and still maintain his WAR pace.

 

90 innings of high-leverage pitching to a 0.2 ERA seems like it might be worth close to a Mike Trout.

Wonder if teams are going to stop swinging.  His stuff is so nasty it often ends out of the zone.  The swing & Miss he gets is like nothing I’ve seen.

Some WHIPs:

Bautista (2023)  1.35

Baker  1.08

Coulombe  1.03

Bob Gibson (1968, 1.12 ERA)  0.853

Britton (2016)  0.836

Mariano Rivera (2008)  0.665 / Lifetime 1.00

He's on an amazing run.

Britton almost did this in 2016, though he did fall about 25 innings short.

They can’t. That change-up is filthy.

Edwin Diaz accumulated 3.0 WAR in 62 innings last year, and people went gaga over him. Cano is on a pace to double that this season.

Wow, that is absolutely unreal. Easily most valuable reliever in the league right now.

Cano, Coloumbe… who else can we take from Minnesota?

I'll take Lopez back for a low level minor leaguer or two.
