Barry Zito went 23-5 with a 2.75 ERA and 182 strikeouts so there's the same amount of wins but 3 less losses. Pedro Martinez went 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA and 313 strikeouts so there's the same amount of wins with 4 less losses. Randy Johnson went 24-5 with a 2.32 ERA so it was a little higher than Orel's 2.26 in that year, but 1 more win and 3 less losses and Johnson had 334 strikeouts that year he almost double the amount of strikeouts that Orel did.
