For comparison, Carlos Rodon led all of MLB last year with a 2.25 FIP. Four more to go!

Peter- I think he means - in the majors...not high school (although, that is where my username comes from).
There can't be many qualifying teenagers available for the answers. Gooden is the obvious one. Perhaps Vida...Feller had more years pitched as a teenager. I'll guess that Fernando may be on the list.... . .

Yes, the question is about stats accrued as a major leaguer.
The only name so far mentioned that is on the list is Gooden.

I've found Gullet at 3.05 & Palmer at 3.63 - not sure what the minimum innings are.
John Ward, Smoky Joe Wood & Walter .

You've got 3 of the remaining 4 - WaJo is #1 - 1.61 FIP in 1907 at age 19. Ward is #4 - 2.24 FIP over two seasons at age 18 and 19 (1878-9) Wood is #5 - 2.27 FIP in 1908-9. Only #3 remains. Also a 19th century player...
