Some of those stats are insane.  For pitchers who have thrown at least 50 innings in a season, here is how Kimbrel ranks:

-  K'ing hitters at a rate of 16.5/9 IP, highest rate ever
-  BAA of .128, lowest since 1900
-  Allowing an OPS of .368, lowest in the expansion era
-  WHIP of .68, lowest of any reliever since 1900
-  K'ing 49.5% of hitters period, best in live-ball era
-  K to hit ratio of 4.2, best ever

Simply put, Kimbrel is having possibly the best season by a closer EVER and should win the NL Cy Young.  And just to think he is only 24 and getting his career started.
