There is no way Zack Wheeler was the fifth best pitcher in the National League. He finished second place in the voting with 12 first place votes and nine second place votes. 17 of the 5th place votes went to eventual fifth place finisher Brandon Woodruff.<\/p>\n<p>On no planet was Woodruff better than Wheeler this year. But in going through that Twitter thread, Goldsmith <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CharlieG__\/status\/1461121425985753094?s=20\">explains his reasoning like this<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I put less stock into innings pitched if you\u2019re close to the top of the leaderboard. Woodruff was harder to hit, had a better strikeout rate and in my evaluation was a better pitcher this year. Wheeler is also very good!&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brandon Woodruff pitched 179 innings with a 2.56 ERA. Wheeler pitched 213 innings with a 2.78 ERA. The SO\/9 and BB\/9 numbers are essentially the same. Totally negligible in difference. It&#8217;s basically the same argument we were having between Wheeler and Corbin Burnes, where the latter just logged less volume and played on the better team with the better bullpen. Even if the Cy Young was just about raw numbers (it&#8217;s not), Woodruff didn&#8217;t do anything that was amazingly better than what Wheeler did. The other writers agree! &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1584\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd.jpg 1584w, https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd-1024x455.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd-768x341.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crossingbroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FEbwY_qXsAEfNsd-1536x683.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1584px) 100vw, 1584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A brief Googling reveals that Goldsmith graduated from college in 2020, so he&#8217;s been a professional baseball writer for a grand total of 1.5 years.
