    Comparing Shota Imanaga's incredible start to the three best pitchers in Cubs history

    Chicago Cubs rookie starting pitcher Shota Imanaga has been great to start the 2024 season. Prior to his last start, he'd yet to allow a run, and even after that start, he's still carrying a 3-0 record through four games. Over the last 35 years, there have been dozens of great pitchers for the Cubs, but there are three in particular that come to mind immediately: Greg Maddux, Mark Prior, and Jake Arrieta. For the purpose of this article, we're going to look at those three pitchers' best seasons for the Cubs and compare their first four games of those seasons to Imanaga's first four games of 2024.
