Only problem with posting raw numbers is lack of context. Without that, they lose a great deal of their meaning.
Koufax career DERA is 3.50 in 2,324 innings.
Martinez career DERA is 2.86 in 2,296 innings.
Pedro isn't just superior. He's much better.
DERA is a rate stat. Let's see how they compare on career value, with no adjustment for quality of league play.
Koufax career WARP1 is 66.9
Pedro clocks in with a career WARP1, to date of course, of 100.9 in virtually an identical amount of innings.
