Would you put him in the HOF?

6 year peak

85-39
3 Cy Youngs
1 Cy young runner up
2.36 ERA
159 ERA+

His ERA+ is 3rd all time through age 26 with at least 800 innings

Yes. It would grow the legend even more.

He would basically be Sandy Koufax 2.0 at this point.

Don't you have to play 10 years to be eligible?

What if he wins the CYA this year, then instead of retiring, goes .500 with a 5.00 ERA for the next ten years?

I hate to reward a guy with a short peak for retiring, while punishing another with the same peak who sticks around.

He's definitely got a great shot at the HOF, though.
