The game's developers still trust his abilities, and he plays for the Dodgers, who also have Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the list. Tarik Skubal and Chris Sale follow closely behind, both rated at 94. While overall ratings reflect a pitcher's abilities, it's also important to consider other stats.
