My Take

Rick Porcello is the sort of pitcher I have a soft spot for. A towering 196 cm righty out of New Jersey, he debuted as the youngest player in the American League with the Tigers, carrying heavy expectations early. What gets me is his 2016 with Boston, when he paired the Cy Young Award with Comeback Player of the Year after being written off as merely solid. He won not with overpowering velocity but with smart, ground-ball pitching, the kind of unglamorous craft that eats innings and quietly wins games. To me he embodies the underappreciated virtue of dependable, workmanlike excellence.
