Good morning!
Both Erick Fedde and Garrett Crochet are on pace to finish with 4+ bWAR on the season (entering Thursday evening's game against the Mariners, Crochet has logged 2.7 bWAR and Fedde 3.2). Should Fedde and Crochet continue apace (and remain with the White Sox) it would be the first time since 2021 that the team has had two or more starting pitchers log 4+ WAR in the same season.
Fedde and Crochet are doing pretty darned well across MLB, too: entering Thursday evening's game against the Mariners, Fedde has the third-most bWAR while Crochet is sitting eighth. Not too shabby! And that's what today's Sporcle is all about: in franchise history, 155 pitchers (starters or relievers) have logged at least 4 WAR in a single season: how many can you name? Good luck!

Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- Crochet currently leads MLB in K/9, at 12.3...
- He also (again, entering Thursday's game) leads MLB in strikeouts with 103.
