Yes, his 1.35 ERA is the best in Dodgers history for any season of 12 starts or more. When a franchise features names like Koufax, Newcombe, Drysdale, and Kershaw, that’s an exceptional stat to add to your resume in a contract season.

Ryu is leading all of baseball in ERA, wins, K/BB, and BB/9. Moreover, he has gone 7+ innings in 8 of his 12 starts, which is good for second in the majors in average start length. h/t to Joe Davis for these numbers.
