Missing WHIP (walks + hits per inning) which is highly regarded as the best indicator of a pitchers skill.

My personal rankings for pitchers would be

Walter Johnson
Christy Mathewson
Ed Walsh
Addie Joss
Mordecai Brown
Eddie Plank

Eddie Plank in my opinion is overrated at his prime compared to other players of the era. He was a phenomenal pitcher but only had one season with a WHIP under 1. He excelled at being a top of the line pitcher throughout his whole career and was very consistent though. From a purely statistical standpoint the other pitchers on the list were much better in their best seasons than Plank ever was.
