Manoah: 2.43ERA, 160 ERA+, 3.42 FIP, 0.996 WHIP, 6.8H/9, 0.8 HR/9, 2.2BB/9, 8.3K/9, 3.79K/BB
Clemens: 2.48 ERA, 169 ERA+, 2.81 FIP, 0.969 WHIP, 6.3H/9, 0.7HR/9, 2.4BB/9, 8.4K/9, 3.55K/BB
Clemens tossed 10 complete games and threw 252 innings, winning the Cy Young and MVP.
I don’t think the starters of old would be able to go that distance regularly if the hitters were looking up every pitch they’d ever been thrown by Roger Clemens in between at-bats.
