Jake Arrieta's 2015 was amazing, and I second the 1978 season for Ron Guidry as being up there.

Arrieta wasn't even the best pitcher in the league in 2015. Zack Greinke had a better season. Greinke led the league in ERA+ and WHIP while finishing with an ERA of 1.66. The highest ERA Greinke had after a start at ANY POINT in 2015 was 1.97. Arrieta gets credit for being unhittable in August and September but... his ERA sat at 3.40 on June 17.
Bottom line: Greinke was great all year. Arrieta was great 1/2 - 2/3 of the year.
