Justin Verlander eyes the elusive 300-win club—can the future Hall of Famer achieve what no active pitcher has in over a decade, and does reaching this historic milestone still carry weight in modern MLB? Sully examines Verlander's Hall of Fame résumé, the shifting value of pitcher wins, and why the true ace archetype may be disappearing from today’s game.
Key topics include the scarcity of 300-game winners since Randy Johnson, the decline of workhorse starters like Greg Maddux, and how trends like pitch limits and velocity obsession threaten the future of dominant innings-eaters. Sully questions if MLB is sacrificing excitement by phasing out classic ace pitchers, and makes the case for resurrecting the mentality—even if not the numbers—of legends like Verlander, Kershaw, and Scherzer. Is it time for baseball to bring back the ace?
