Justin Verlander’s six scoreless innings on Thursday brought him to 130 innings...
CLEVELAND — When you’ve pitched for as long as Justin Verlander has, and with as much success, every start seems to be accompanied by a different milestone, another box checked.brought him to 130 innings pitched this season, which triggers his player option for 2023. He is pitching now on a one-year, $25 million contract signed during the offseason before he began to author a remarkable comeback from Tommy John surgery.
“The way I like to pitch, I felt like in my mind the 130-inning mark was, OK, you're going out on a limb paying an old man — after two years away from the game — more than what I would have gotten with the qualifying offer,” Verlander said. “Obviously there were a few other teams in there but you know, I thought that that was a fair ask. I said OK because in my mind if I don't throw 130 innings, I didn't earn the contract that I have this season.
Verlander leads the majors in ERA and wins while ranking second in WHIP and third in opponent batting average .
