Trivia

Cole Hamels threw 262.3 innings in 2008 (including 35 in the postseason). Since 1980, only three other pitchers under 25 have thrown so much in one of their first three seasons in the majors. Name them.

I will give credit to where I read this after you get the answer. Post your answers below.

  6. Steve Avery? Can't remember clearly, but wasn't his windup very similar to Hamels.

  7. Looks like Avery only had 253.2 IP (playoffs included) in '92. I dunno.
    That guy really fell off the map quick.

    Gooden pitched every other day in '85. Coke helps.
