Jake Arrieta vs. Carlos Estevez — Career Comparison

Jake Arrieta built a career as a starting pitcher and Carlos Estevez as a reliever — different jobs with different demands — but on the metrics that apply to both, a comparison is still worth making. Carlos Estevez led in run prevention (ERA+ 111 vs 87), home run suppression (HR9+ 112 vs 95), and walk avoidance (BB%+ 102 vs 89). Role difference aside, Carlos Estevez holds a clear edge on every meaningful shared measure.
