In Part 1 of this series, nsb conjectured on what the Cy Young votes would have been had only starting pitchers been eligible in the years that relievers were chosen as Cy Young Award winners.

With apologies to James Joyce, here’s a post on the Cy Young Award, to be awarded this season, for the sixtieth time, to the best pitcher in each league, as voted by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Here’s a group of accomplished pitchers who enjoy the distinction of a certain career accomplishment of which no other retired modern era pitcher can boast.

Just uncovered this unlikely list of pitchers for you to ponder.

Continuing my post on exceptional pitching seasons, Part 2 looks at most exceptional pitcher seasons for rate statistics.

Most players can point to one season in their careers as their “career year”, when everything clicked, most of their luck was good, and their stat line was clearly head and shoulders above every other season of their careers.

Last season, Justin Turner hit the first walk-off home run of his career, a two-run pinch-hit blast against the Orioles on August 3rd that kept the Cubs just two games back of the division-leading Brewers.

We’re through the wild-card round and almost through the division series.

Most players can point to one season in their careers as their “career year”, when everything clicked, most of their luck was good, and their stat line was clearly head and shoulders above every other season of their careers.

As we reach the All-Star break, Aaron Judge is having yet another monster season, leading the majors in all three slash categories, plus WAR, Hits and Total Bases, and leading the AL in Runs and Walks.

Cub centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is the first player this season to reach 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases, a feat that was once rare for a full season, never mind half a campaign.

The Dodgers and Yankees meet in the World Series for a record twelfth time, but their first meeting in 43 years.

August’s AL Pitcher of the Month was the Blue Jays’ Bowden Francis.

Shohei Ohtani showed us how superstars mark milestones, again!

Willie Mays‘ passing last month serves to remind baseball fans of his spectacular and singular career.

One third of the way into the current season and it is the pitchers who have held the upper hand, with OPS declining by over 4% from the same period a year ago.

Pitchers tend to hold the upper hand to start the season, with batters warming up with the weather.

Ronel Blanco lived up to his name, turning in the young season’s first no-hit game as the Astros romped 10-0 over Toronto.
