I'm totally biased as Ryan is my all time favorite. Open to opinions.

Verlander hasn't put Robin Ventura in a headlock. There's still time but not yet.

Ryan was never a world series winner

*Correction! I just remember his time with the Mets.

He's about as close to Ryan as we'll get for a few decades

I found this which is kinda neat. https://mlbcomparisons.com/nolan-ryan-vs-justin-verlander-comparison/

With the way teams manage pitch counts and bullpens now, I doubt we'll ever see numbers like that again. Players just aren't going to be allowed the innings to have a chance at those strikeout numbers.

Not until you have someone who is actually much better than Ryan(as if thats possible).
