3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez earned his eighth win of the season with seven shutout innings at Miami. Suarez scattered six hits and picked up nine K's to cap a brilliant season. That sound you hear is applause for one of the most unlikely fantasy baseball heroes you'll ever see. Suarez was not even with the Phillies at the start of Spring Training due to travel restrictions. He joined the team in May as a long reliever and climbed the bullpen ranks all the way to closer, where he went 4-for-4 in save chances. He was transitioned to the starting rotation and pitched to a 1.51 ERA across 12 starts. Add it all up, and Suarez posted the best ERA (1.36) of any pitcher with 100-plus innings since Bruce Sutter in 1977. Suarez will be on a ton of championship rosters.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
