Dallas Keuchel, Houston Astros: 17-7, 2.22 ERA
Keuchel is second in the AL in strike outs with 192, and is first in the AL with a 1.00 WHIP, which is incredibly impressive considering AL pitchers face nine professional batters, not eight like in the NL. Keuchel also has the best AL ERA for a starter with 2.22, again impressive for facing nine professional hitters.
There’s no doubt that Keuchel has been pitching like he is about to enter free agency, and he will definitely be paid accordingly in the offseason. But have all the contract extension talks with the Astros as of late been distracting Keuchel? Maybe a little, but he is still has putting up staggering numbers throughout the entire 2015 season.
While Keuchel does not have an over-powering arsenal, he does throw with the best precision in the MLB, which has lead to a career year and which is why he will most likely win the AL Cy Young award.
