'A' is for Arrieta

Jake Arrieta is just flat-out dominating in the 2016 Boys of Summer APBA Baseball League; He is 6-0 with a 0.75 ERA, 72 K (14 BB) in 60 IP (3 Complete Games!) & has allowed only 18 hits!

Oh... and after conducting a couple one-hit shutouts already... He just threw a NO-HITTER for the Corktown Tamales! It is also safe to say he will be Week 7's pitcher of the week for A.L., after already winning the weekly award twice before that.

Meanwhile, in Major League Baseball -- Jake Arrieta is 9-0 in 11 starts, I started the discussion on APBA Facebook Group, is it possible for a pitcher to reach 30 wins in a season again? They all answered 'no'... but isn't that what everyone said about the chances of a Triple Crown happening, until Miguel Cabrera broke the mode in 2012.

I personally believe he will finish with 25+ wins (27 to be exact) & I am throwing it out there that I do believe it is possible to accomplish 30 wins, even in today's game.

Here is what he's been doing in the current 2016 Boys of Summer APBA Baseball League (based on 2015 MLB statistics)....


My brother Chris informed me, while looking it stat master (provided by APBA) that opponents are batting a combined .090 against him -- that's really impressive; Plus he has allowed a 2.7 hits per nine innings.
