STARTERS: BPV leaders, July 2021 to June 2022

As we pass the midpoint of the season, our expectations of a player's performance can be overshadowed by recent events, since we tend to aggregate stats in yearly increments.

The value of highly skilled starters can be seen in the ERA and WHIP posted by them since July 2021:

SP BPV ERA WHIP
100 3.70 1.16
<100 4.80 1.38

Let's take a closer look at some of the most noteworthy skill performances over the last 12 months.
