Strikeouts per 9 Innings Leaders
November 26, 2025 at 11:52 PM
Dylan Cease (Signed by TOR) is a high-powered righty who has some of the best strikeout stuff in baseball. His career has been a roller coaster but his durability reigns supreme as he has never missed a start. He was my #1 pitcher available in Free Agency

Toronto gets their Ace!
