Koufax Continues To Shine

As of this writing, Sandy Koufax has 5 wins and a 3.00 ERA.  In 81 innings he's given up just 65 hits and struck out 73 against 21 walks, good enough for a1.06 WHIP.  Great stuff.

Even better, Koufax is in the midst of a 22 scoreless innings streak.  After struggling early against the Orators on May 26, he shut them down for 4 innings before giving way to the Slammers relief corp.  In his two games since, he's tossed two complete game shutouts, striking out 16 and walking 2.

Koufax has a chance to be legit, although certainly not this good.  This 1965 season chosen had only been used one other time, back in ATB 8.  With a 7-18 record and 6.02 ERA he was awful, but he played on a horrid team in a pitchers park.

In the 79 resims he held his own with a 4.08 ERA, 1.34 WHIP leading me to believe at least one of those 79 seasons was very, very good.
