Unlike a decade and a half ago, only the rare slugging specimen resembles He-Man. These days, Major League Baseball puts pitchers on the marquee, and there are plenty to share top billing.
Clayton Kershaw . Max Scherzer . Felix Hernandez. This list is long, and the guys on it have earned their spot through years of domination as the featured arms during these Years of the Pitcher, so much so that new commissioner Rob Manfred is even trying to come up with ways to halt their reign.
As the 2015 season approaches in the coming weeks, pitchers will get the big, shiny headlines. But not all of them. There are those still flying low enough to escape radar detection.
And there are still groups, known as rotations, doing the same thing. Sure, maybe they are high enough that the general baseball-watching public recognizes the ability is there, but as a unit, there are still a handful of rotations that do not get their deserved recognition.
For reasons ranging from not enough big names to being part of a team that hasn’t won enough recently to being recently forgotten because of injuries to not having household names, these are the game’s top five underrated rotations, from least underrated to most.
