MLB Trivia: Pitching a Perfect Playoff Percentage

Lots of pitchers have gone undefeated in a single postseason. But only three pitchers have had a perfect 1.000 winning percentage in a single postseason while pitching 40 or more innings. Two of those pitchers were Orel Hershiser (1988) and Curt Schilling (2001). The third pitcher is still active. Who is he? (Hint: This player has pitched in this 2010 postseason for an AL team.)

The three pitchers who have a 1.000 winning percentage in a single postseason with 40+ IP are Curt Schilling, Orel Hershiser, and Cliff Lee (2009).

Perhaps another pitcher will join this group in 2010!
