Roy Halladay
The rarest of modern achievements belongs to Halladay: he threw a perfect game in the regular season and a no-hitter in the postseason, both in 2010. Only one pitcher in baseball history can claim that double.
His 2011 season stands as a masterpiece of consistency and dominance. That 2.35 ERA paired with a 168 ERA+ shows just how thoroughly he dismantled hitters in an offensive era. The 220 strikeouts came without sacrificing control — a hallmark of his cutter-heavy approach that made him nearly unhittable when locked in.
Halladay's career arc tells the story of reinvention. After early struggles in Toronto, he rebuilt his mechanics and mental approach to become the game's most reliable starter. His 203 wins and 3.38 ERA over 16 seasons reflect uncommon durability in the modern game, while that peak ERA+ of 229 captures just how untouchable he was at his best.
