The issue is not only the health of the modern starting pitcher, but the role those starters play in the sport these days. “You’ve got to get the starting pitcher back. But has the starting pitcher crisis risen to that level? If you’re a dominating starting pitcher in this era, it probably means you throw harder than the average pitcher.

[1/52] Sep 26, 2023; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson (7) is honored before a game against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. The Braves, who trailed 6-0 entering the bottom of the sixth, rallied for the two decisive unearned runs against ex-Brave Drew Smyly (11-10). Chicago upped the lead to 6-0 thanks to Cody Bellinger's run-scoring single in the fourth and an RBI single by Ian Happ in the sixth. It was the club's 300th home run, making the Braves only the third team to reach that milestone. Later in the frame, Olson added a run-scoring single, his major-league-best 134th RBI, and Marcell Ozuna followed with a run-scoring double off the left field wall.
