The White Sox have had one pitcher stand above the rest

The Chicago White Sox have had a mixed bag when it comes to pitching but one thing can be confirmed and that is the fact that they have some of the best in the American League. Even when you look at the top pitchers in both leagues, the White Sox have some of the best pitchers in baseball all around.

With names like Lance Lynn, Johnny Cueto, and Lucas Giolito, the White Sox have a strong pitching setup. But there is one player that has taken White Sox pitching to the next level. He is clearly the best pitcher on their staff and is one of the best in the league. That player is Dylan Cease.

We all know what Cease has done so far this season. His stats are extremely impressive. He has a record of 9-4 and an ERA of 2.15 in 19 starts. Cease has pitched 104.2 innings and has allowed 25 earned runs. What’s most impressive is his league-leading 150 strikeouts.

Cease has been awesome for almost the entire season. Sure, he’s struggled in a couple of games but overall he’s been one of the most consistent and spectacular pitchers that the league has seen. The White Sox are lucky to have him.

Dylan Cease has been the best overall player on the Chicago White Sox this year.

When you talk about Cy Young eligible talent, Cease must be in that conversation. He’s easily one of the top pitchers in the entire American League right now.

Even though he was not given an invite to the All-Star game, he still was worthy of All-Star consideration. He should have been there but that won’t stop him from being one of the top pitchers in baseball. He will likely only continue to get better.

So, the first-half MVP on the mound for the White Sox in 2022 is poised to have a stellar rest of the season.

Don’t be surprised if he’s one of the top three candidates to win the American League Cy Young award. He has a great chance of winning the award if he can keep doing what he’s been doing. You shouldn’t expect anything less than a stellar effort out of Cease for the remainder of the season.

The White Sox are lucky to have a guy like him on their staff. With him there, they can punch batters out consistently, keep the score down, and allow the bats to help them win the game. He’s reliable, consistent, and truly the best pitcher the Sox have in their starting rotation right now.
