Ryu absolutely is in the same league as Bauer. I would actually argue that Ryu is in a level above Bauer.
Bauer had a great 2018 where he finished 6th in Cy Young, and he’s beating up on weak opponents this year, but the rest of his career has been rather pedestrian. Including an abysmal stint to finish last year in Cincinnati.
Robbie Rays career splits are actually in line with Bauer’s and he had the misfortune of playing on weak Arizona teams in a bam box of a ballpark. Whereas Bauer played for the extremely pitcher friendly organization of Cleveland up until now with Cinnci.
I’m just not sold on Bauer being anything other than a slightly above average strikeout pitcher while still being a head case. Although he has redeemed himself somewhat on the Twitter verse this year.
