Forget 300 wins, how many pitchers will reach 200 wins?

[Sports Guy]

This is pretty interesting to think about. Cole will likely get there but after that, who is going to reach 200 wins?  

[Spy Fox]

I don't think any name in that picture even gets close except for Cole.

If I had to throw a dart at another on that list I'd say Chris Sale could get there if he stays on the mound til ~40.

Someone probably wrote an article about how they would never see another 400 game winner after Walter Johnson retired.

The buzz after the latest HoF election round previewing CC Sabathia is he's trending towards a lock, which is good.

The career end numbers of everyone in the Third Time through the Order penalty era are going to be far lower, but the top couple percent of achievers should rate this honor even if they have 96 career Wins, and 1400 career innings pitched.

Kevin Gausman leads all Arms born in 1991 (i.e., guys who are 33 this year and their shoulders are too tired to complete Spring Training), and he has 23 career rWAR.

No Arms born in 1997 or later (i.e., guys who are prime 27 this year) have attained 10 rWAR.    Thirty odd years ago Mike Mussina had 23 through his age-26 season.

Guys like Zack Wheeler and Corbin Burnes don't seem like Hall of Famers but perhaps they ought to.

Is Stephen Strasburg a Hall of Famer?    Madison Bumgarner?

120 is the correct answer! 

As the pitching theory turns...  

[Moose Milligan]

I don't think there's anyone that'll crack 200 in the near future after looking at that list.  Sale might, if he hangs on and kills it for the Braves.  Playing for a winning organization like that might be the bump he needs.

Seems like it's Cole or bust to me from that list. 

[Frobby]

I remember when Mussina was nearing the end of his career people were knocking his HoF case for not winning 300 games.  I said then that I wasn’t sure any pitcher behind him would reach Mussina’s 270.  So far, nobody has, though Verlander has a good shot.

I’d still bet on Cole to get to 200.

In the post-Mussina era, no pitcher has won more than 74 total games for the Orioles (Chris Tillman).   So there’s your bogey.

Fingers crossed this decade we get to see Grayson challenge the limits of what is attainable in this odd little stat as we heard towards the 2nd quarter of the century.

Yamamoto, Strider, Kirby perhaps the chief rivals - we'll see if Jobe or Skenes really pop, Sasaki some number of years behind.

Bummed Eury Perez now reported with elbow beyond the fingernail that had been nagging at him.

Run Prevention is strong in baseball thanks to the hedge fund managers and the Arm Barn, so there's got to be Hall of Famers in here somewhere.
