Nolan Ryan is the 14th all-time Texas leader for innings pitched at 840, and Derek Holland only needs to pitch 21 innings to tie him. Colby Lewis is projected to hit a career milestone for 1000 innings pitched on September 27 at Minute Maid Park per MLB.com.

SAVES:
Neftali Feliz is just 13 saves away from reaching a career-high 100 saves. Before seeing him in action at the end of 2014, I would have scoffed at the idea of putting him on the milestones ‘Must Watch’ list. However, I did see Nefti. And, this Feliz looked very familiar. He has found his confidence again. He is at camp looking 10 pounds lighter and setting the bar high for himself. I think this is more than within his reach.

Interestingly enough, Colby Lewis and Yu Darvish could both reach 742 strikeouts before the season ends, which would have them tied with Texas Rangers 6th all-time leader Kevin Brown.
