Yankees’ Cam Schlittler Joins Walter Johnson in Baseball History

New York Yankees starting pitcher Cam Schlittler made baseball history on September 19, 2026, during a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Although the Yankees' bullpen ultimately lost the game, Schlittler finalized his regular-season road ERA at an impressive 1.16. This mark is the second-lowest road ERA in American League history for a pitcher with at least 15 starts.

Schlittler's historic road ERA ranks only behind Hall of Famer Walter Johnson, who posted a 1.06 road ERA in 1913. Additionally, Schlittler recorded 24 starts this season in which he allowed one or fewer earned runs. This achievement ranks third in American League history, trailing only Johnson's 1913 and 1914 campaigns.
