On Friday morning, the Yankees made official what we all expected: CC Sabathia’s Major League career is over.

Sabathia had already announced that he would retire at the end of the season, and then he left Thursday night's game with an injury and was subsequently replaced on the roster by Ben Heller, which keeps Sabathia out of the American League Championship Series and the World Series if the Yankees can pull off a comeback.

When you’ve pitched for as long as and as well as Sabathia has, you’re going to sit atop many active leaderboards. He led in almost everything: As Yahoo’s Tim Brown noted on Twitter, Sabathia was the active leader in “wins, innings pitched, starts, strikeouts, complete games, home runs allowed, walks, hits allowed, losses, earned runs allowed, hit-by-pitches and batters faced.” It doesn’t seem like that long ago that Sabathia was a dominant Trade Deadline acquisition by the Brewers (it was 2008). And now we’re at the end.

So who are the active leaders in those stats now? There are two groups of stats, essentially: The ones Justin Verlander leads, and the ones that he doesn’t. There are more of the former. (Full leaderboards for each category are linked in the subheds. Bartolo Colon didn't pitch in the Majors or Minors this year, so he isn't considered active for the purposes of this story.)

The Verlander categories

Wins
CC’s total: 251
Verlander: 225

If Sabathia wasn’t going to get to 300 – and he was 49 short, which is to say he wasn’t that particularly close – then it’s a good sign that no one’s going to get near 300 for quite some time. Verlander has 225, which means he’d have to get 20 a year well into his 40s to have a chance. One shouldn’t hold one’s breath. Astros teammate Zack Greinke is next behind Verlander, 20 behind him.

Innings pitched
CC’s total: 3,577 1/3
Verlander: 2,982

Another sign of how times have changed: Sabathia’s 3,577 1/3 innings was far ahead of Verlander’s 2,982 … and it’s still just 64th all-time. Verlander will become the 137th pitcher in history to reach 3,000 innings by potentially his third start next year. Here, by the way, Greinke is only 10 innings behind him.

Strikeouts
CC’s total: 3,093
Verlander: 3,006
Verlander was actually about to pass Sabathia here: He’s only 87 behind, and if Sabathia weren’t retiring, at the rate Verlander is going, he would have chased him down in 2020. This is a starting-pitching category, unlike many others, that isn’t fading away: There are always plenty of strikeouts to go around. In '20, Verlander is on track to pass Sabathia, John Smoltz, Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, Fergie Jenkins and Bob Gibson. Becoming the fifth pitcher to reach 4,000 might be a stretch, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility.

Walks
CC’s total: 1,099
Verlander: 850

Obviously not a category you want to dominate, but it’s of course a testament to longevity. These numbers are still rather low across the board, but unlike a lot of other categories here, the second-place person behind Verlander isn’t the control-conscious Greinke; it’s Jon Lester. Greinke is all the way down at No. 12 among active pitchers. He has fewer walks than Oliver Perez! (Greinke has 667; Perez has 754.)

Earned runs
CC’s total: 1,485
Verlander: 1,103

Ervin Santana only made it into three games with the White Sox this season, and it’s possible his career is over. If it isn’t, he’s just two earned runs behind Verlander for his career. Hang in there, Big Erv, you’ve got a chance!

Starts
CC’s total: 560
Verlander: 453

This is a category that’s going to look increasingly strange as the opener is used more and more: Some day, someone like Ryne Stanek is going to have, like, 60 starts or something. For now, Verlander is six ahead of Greinke … but one wonders if, in a decade or so, we’ll stop worrying much about this stat at all.

Complete games
CC’s total: 38
Verlander: 26

Speaking of which, the complete game has nearly vanished from the baseball landscape all together. There were only 45 thrown this year, two by Verlander. The real question: Will anyone ever reach Sabathia’s 38 again?

Batters faced
CC’s total: 14,989
Verlander: 12,193

Sabathia was 66th all-time in this ultimate longevity category. Verlander is 2,800 hitters behind ... or about 103 perfect games.

The non-Verlander categories

Losses
CC’s total: 161
Félix Hernández: 136

It’s possible that we won’t see many losses for Félix in the future, as it’s uncertain what the future holds for him. Surprisingly, Edwin Jackson is right behind him at 133. Verlander is at 129, and he’s going to be pitching for a while, so he might actually become the active leader in this category next season. A wager: We will never again have a 200-loss pitcher.

Home runs allowed
CC’s total: 382
Ervin Santana: 322

Here’s our friend Big Erv again, with a whopping 322 homers yielded, despite drastically fewer innings thrown than everyone near him on the leaderboard. Verlander isn’t second to Santana here, by the way; Cole Hamels is.

Hits
CC’s total: 3,404
Zack Greinke: 2,661

A somewhat dubious Greinke-as-leader category. Sabathia ranks 80th all-time, and his numbers seem like they won’t be passed for quite a while: This is not a period in baseball history when base hits are at a particular high point. Fun way to look at it: Just nine position players in MLB history have more than 3,400 hits. In other words, CC’s hits allowed would rank just ahead of Paul Molitor on the all-time hits leaderboard.

Hit-by-pitch
CC’s total: 123
Charlie Morton: 117

An odd-duck leader here: Charlie Morton! Morton hits a ton of batters: Despite throwing nearly 2,100 fewer innings than Sabathia, he’s only six HBPs behind him. Morton will give you welts, people.
