It's been a long time since we've had an ERA or WHIP enter the record book...

But the wait may be over.

Two-time Cy Young winner Peter Alexander will likely be the first SP since season 8 to crack the top 5 in ERA, something both Babe Adams and Sandy Koufax did that season.

Rookie Greg Maddux might be the first SP since season 8 to crack the top 5 in WHIP (again Adams and Koufax).
