Hunter Greene's season rankings among pitchers in various traditional statistics:

ERA: 2.83 (5th in MLB, 3rdin NL)
IP: 144.2 (11th in MLB, 5th in NL )
Strikeouts: 162 (7th in MLB, 4th in NL)
WAR: 5.3 (2nd in MLB, 1st in NL)
WHIP: 1.02 (9th in MLB, 5th in NL)
BAA: .185 (3rd in MLB, 1st in NL)

Per Statcast:

xERA is 2.95, which is 89th percentile.
xBAA is .189, which is 97th percentile.
95th percentile in fastball speed (97.6 mph)
89th percentile in barrel%
87th percentile in hard hit%

I don't know if Skenes will continue to cruise through the season and win the NL Cy Young but, if the people who select these things think that his ~10 fewer starts relative to every other NL pitcher in contention is a deal breaker, Hunter Greene has got to be a top 2 nominee for NL Cy Young right now.
