Still, Schlittler reached a feat not seen in more than 100 years.

He reached at least 50 strikeouts on the year with fewer than 10 walks issued, no more than one home run allowed and an ERA less than 1.50 in his first nine starts of the year. He’s the first pitcher to hit those benchmarks since Walter Johnson did it in 1913, according to Opta Stats.

Pablo did a fantastic job, I hope he gets awarded for this work.

“For 25 years, I had the pleasure to play this great sport of football. It has taught me a lot, not only about myself, but about life as well.

“Many ups and downs throughout the years, but the ups outweigh the downs tenfold. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would’ve been able to live this life.

“Thank you to all who have supported me in this journey. Thank you all who have believed in me. And thank you to those who gave me the opportunity to live out my childhood dream.”

More to come…
