The era a pitcher played in significantly impacts how many shutouts they recorded. Even the best pitchers in the 2010s and 2020s have rarely pitched shutouts.
It’s become common for pitchers to be pulled from a game when they’re dominating. That wasn’t always the case, however. There are seven pitchers in Jays history with five or more shutouts, and four made it into double digits.
Pitch limits and bullpen usage have made recording a shutout much harder. For instance, Blue Jays odds to win the World Series had them among the favourites in 2015 and 2016, but they recorded two shutouts across two seasons, both of which were in 2015.
