## Resource

Louis Varland is rewriting the record books in his first full season with the Toronto Blue Jays, posting an otherworldly 0.29 ERA in 31 innings while converting all eight save chances and pitching over an inning eight times. His ERA+ of 1509 is jaw-dropping, and his dominance is making him a frontrunner for team MVP and even Cy Young buzz — all while the Jays bullpen remains a work in progress.
