Brad Mills is crushing the opposition! And he’s one of the few still active- just Scott Copeland. It’s not likely that Mills will top 1,000 in 2017 (he’s only topped 150 K’s in one minor league year before), but with two more seasons, it seems definitely possible.

It just doesn’t seem that pitchers hang around as long as hitters do!

Next up: ERA.
