Scott "The Franchise" Hill

Quickly, Who's the best starting pitcher in VBL6? If you didn't say Scott Hill then a) you're fairly new to VBL6 or b)....well, I'm not sure why else you wouldn't say Scott Hill. Don't take my word for it though, lets look at the stats.

Scott Hill

Name: Scott "The Franchise" Hill
Team: Hendersonville Hitmen
Age: 27
Pos: SP
Throws: Left
2012 Salary: $11.4M
Awards: 3x Boardman Award (Cy Young) Winner

Entering the 2012 Season Scott Hill holds 23 VBL6 pitching records, 11 single season records including wins (24), ERA (1.51), K/9 (10.38), WHIP (0.79) and 12 career records, including wins (95), ERA (1.82), WHIP (0.88) and VORP (443.4).

Hill has won the Boardman Award (Cy Young) 3x in 5 years in and the last 2 in the Marvin League. He has NEVER loss more than 5 games in a season. His 95-18 win/loss record is insane!!! His 18 career losses are the same as All-Star SP Art Ellis' 2009 total and 5 less than newly acquired Hitmen SP Mal Windham's 23 losses in 2011
.
Hill has 4 straight season's of an ERA under 2.00 which are the 4 lowest ERA's in VBL6 history. He also has 4 straight seasons of a WHIP under 1.00 and the 3 lowest in VBL6's history. His career opponent batting avg is below the Mendoza line at .198. Hill's career 443.4 VORP is 70 pts better than the next guy and he had 3 of the 4 best single season VORPs.

His .841 winning % is far and away the best with Ethan Pickup's .698% 2nd among SP. He had NEVER allowed more than 8 HR in a season. He has 5 straight 204+ innings pitched seasons. 4 Straight seasons with 239+ strikeouts and his 1,179 K's are only 2 behind Jean-Thomas Francoeur for the All-Time lead.

The scary apart for the league is Scott Hill just turned 27 a few months ago and is just now hitting his prime. He is currently locked up as a Hitmen for the next two years. Rumor is that Hays has no expectations of letting Hill ever hit Free Agency.
