The Milwaukee Brewers are getting some incredible production from their starting rotation, even after they've dealt Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets and aren't getting anything out of Brandon Woodruff.
Jacob Misiorowski has been a Cy Young-caliber starter, while Kyle Harrison has been great since coming over from the Boston Red Sox. But Logan Harrison has been the true surprise star of the rotation this season.
As Curt Hogg of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel highlighted, the Brewers' 24-year-old right-hander has made some MLB history that no pitcher has accomplished since at least 1898.
Brewers' Logan Henderson makes incredible MLB history
"Logan Henderson has done something no pitcher ever has done before in Major League Baseball history," Hogg shared. "He's the first in @Stathed's database (since 1898) to begin his career by making 10 straight starts with 2 or fewer runs allowed."
There have been some truly incredible pitchers to make their debuts with roaring hot starts since 1898, but somehow, none have accomplished what Henderson has.
The Brewers righty has a 2.74 ERA this seas and he had a 1.78 ERA last season, with five starts apiece. In those two years, he's never allowed more than two runs in an outing. He allowed two runs three times this season, and just once last year.
While he might not have the best start to a career statistically, he's still accomplished something that no other pitcher has since 1898.

Through 10 starts to his big league career, Henderson has not once allowed more than two runs in an outing. He has a 2.23 ERA in his career across those 10 starts, so he is allowing runs to score, but never anything above two runs in one outing.
It has not all been great, as he allowed two runs in two innings of work on April fourth this season, which is not good at all. But he's yet to allow three runs or more in any start during his MLB career.
This is a wild feat of MLB history to accomplish, as it's a bit of a surprise that there hasn't been another pitcher to begin their career with such a solid start to a career.
