Eye-popping stats that prove Jake Arrieta is from another planet

By Tim Goldrick

Twitter lit up with jaw-dropping Jake Arrieta stats following his latest no-hitter Thursday night in Cincinnati.

The Cubs ace is in the midst of a dominant stretch that has produced some seriously out-of-this-world numbers.

Here's proof:

Jake Arrieta last 24 regular season starts:
20-1, 0.86 ERA, 178.0 IP, 91 Hits, 173/33 K/BB, 0.697 WHIP.
These are REAL numbers. #Cubs

Arrieta took home the National League Cy Young Award in 2015 and this season, he's picked up right where he left off (or even taken it up a notch?).

Lost in the no-hit buzz is that Arrieta's season ERA is now at 0.90.#Cubs

Arrieta STILL hasn't had a non-quality start in the regular season since Kyle Schwarber's Major League debut.
