since 2007, eight pitchers with at least 800 innings lower than Cole Hamels' mark at 3.44. In that span of time only Tim Lincecum and Dan Haren have a higher strike out rate than Hamels with a 8.32 K/9. And only Haren and Halladay have a lower walk rat than Hamels' remarkable 2.21 BB/9.

Apparently because nobody looks at his amazing things that he made an outstanding 3.09 and 3.39 in 2007 and 2008 or his World Series M.V.P. They look at his 4.32.Even after all this people are still slow to notice.
