Sporting News Pitcher of the Year Award

The Sporting News established the Pitcher of the Year Award in 1944.[1][2] The award is given annually to the pitcher in each league having the most outstanding season. No awards were given in 1946 or 1947.[1][2] This award was established before there was a Cy Young Award.[1][2][3] The Cy Young Award is voted by baseball writers from each city, and critics claim the writers who follow a particular team or player throughout a season are naturally disposed to vote for him.[4] The Pitcher of the Year Award is given annually to the pitcher in each league judged by Sporting News baseball experts as having had the most outstanding season, and is one of the oldest and most prestigious pitching awards in Major League Baseball.[5]

History

By the Second World War, the Sporting News (formerly TSN, now SN), had been giving Player of the Year and Manager of the Year awards since 1936, and an annual Most Valuable Player Award since 1929.[2] In 1944, the Sporting News inaugurated its Pitcher of the Year Award, which has been given each year since to the most outstanding pitcher in each league, with a brief hiatus from 1946-47. [2] Beginning in 2013, the Sporting News issued two awards per league--one to the most outstanding starting pitcher, and one to the most outstanding reliever. [6][7][8][9]

MLB Triple Crown

Only four Pitcher of the Year Award winners have led the major leagues in wins, ERA and strikeouts which is commonly called Major League Pitching Triple Crown.[26] Sandy Koufax is the only player to achieve it more than once. Koufax achieved it three times in a four-year period. Hal Newhouser, age 24 and Dwight Gooden, age 20 were the youngest individuals. Johan Santana, age 27, is the fourth individual.[10][16][26][27][155]

MLB Hall of Fame predictor

Hall of Famer Bob Lemon, three-time AL winner

Winning three (3) or more Pitcher of the Year Awards has been seen as a guaranteed admission to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. All of the eligible pitchers with three or more awards have been elected to the Hall of Fame with the exception of Roger Clemens.[215] Roger Clemens has the most (five) Pitcher of the Year Awards, is in the top ten for all time wins and strikeouts, and is considered to be one of the best pitchers of all time.[216][217][218] Clemens alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs is the major stumbling block to be elected to the Hall of Fame.[219] Three-time winner Clayton Kershaw is not yet eligible for the MLB Hall of Fame.

Pitchers that have won three or more Pitcher of the Year Awards and the year they were inducted into Major League Baseball Hall of Fame sorted by the year they entered the Hall of Fame.[214] Kershaw's statistics are through the 2014 season.

Battle of Pitchers of the Year

It is a rare occurrence when reigning Pitcher of the Year winners face off against each other. A pitching duel occurred on August 28, 1989, when Frank Viola of New York Mets pitched a complete game shutout defeating Orel Hershiser of the Dodgers 1-0.[220] On May 9, 2013 Toronto's R. A. Dickey pitched against David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays won in 10 innings 5-4, neither starting pitcher got a decision.[221]

Organizations

The Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers have won the Pitcher of the Year Award 5 consecutive years 1962-1966 (Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax). The Los Angeles(Brooklyn) Dodgers pitchers have won the award 14 times and the Atlanta (Boston and Milwaukee) Braves pitchers have won the award 13 times. The Cincinnati Reds, Colorado Rockies, Florida Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers are organizations that never had a pitcher win the award.

The Detroit Tigers have three pitchers, Hal Newhouser (1944–45), Denny McLain (1968-69) and Justin Verlander (2011–12) to win consecutive awards. They were also Player of the Year and AL MVP at least once while being Pitcher of the Year.[1][2][222][223]
