My Take
What I admire most about Jake Arrieta is the arc of his career rather than any single number. He looked ordinary in Baltimore, then reinvented himself in Chicago into a Cy Young-caliber ace, which tells me as much about his mindset as his arm. The towering 193 cm frame and that untamed beard became part of the theater, but underneath was a craftsman who refused to accept an early verdict on his ceiling. From TCU All-American to a World Series champion, his is a story of patience and self-belief, and I find that far more compelling than effortless prodigy talent.
