Gausman, in his fifth year with the Blue Jays at age 35, has remained an underrated but reliable and durable starting pitcher. He has produced quality starts consistently since his All-Star breakthrough with the Giants and has delivered some of his best work in Toronto. After a road start against the Tigers, he recorded another quality start, his sixth of the season in 10 games, and has posted quality starts in a steady stream since 2022. His franchise standing has risen with 75 quality starts and a 56% quality-start rate as a Blue Jay, placing him among the top five most consistent starters in team history. Comparisons are made to Stieb and Halladay, whose era-based complete-game totals set high benchmarks.
"Halladay worked with surgical-like precision, and it's also difficult to envision any Blue Jays starting pitcher ever surpassing 65% career quality starts. Two-thirds of the time, Halladay was going at least six innings and giving up three or fewer earned runs. He was as close to automatic as you could find."
