As of this writing, Shane Bieber is the top arm for the Guardians, and the second most famous Bieber.
Debuting for Cleveland in 2018, two years after he was drafted (4th Round), Bieber was 11-5 as a rookie, though his ERA was 4.55. He shaved more than a run off his ERA as a sophomore (3.28), and added a first All-Star while going 15-8 and fanning 259 batters.
Bieber’s best year to date was in the COVID-shortened 2020, where he won the Cy Young, and won the Pitcher’s Triple Crown (8 Wins, 1.63 ERA & 122 SO) and was also the league-leader in ERA+ (273), FIP (2.07), H/9 (5.4) and SO/9 (14.2). Since then, he added an All-Star in 2021, a Gold Glove in 2022, and he enters 2024 well under 30.
