Part 6/10:
As the metrics for evaluating pitchers have evolved, the milestones of past eras—namely the 300-win club, 25-win seasons, and 200-inning campaigns—have lost their significance.

For many current pitchers, the path to greatness no longer lies in the traditional markers but in a new paradigm focused on dominance within shorter outings.
