''Sporting News'' Pitcher of the Year Award

Starting and Relief Pitchers of the Year awards
Awarded for Most Outstanding Starting and Relief Pitcher in each League.
Country United States
Presented by Sporting News
First awarded 1944
Currently held by NL – SP Scherzer & RP Jansen
AL – SP Sale & RP Kimbrel

Sporting News established the Pitcher of the Year Award in 1944.[1][2] Until the award was replaced by two separate awards in 2013, it was 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] 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.[3] Starting in 2013, the Starting Pitcher of the Year Award and Relief Pitcher of the Year Award are given annually to the starting and relief pitchers 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.[4]

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][5] 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 issues two awards per league—one to the most outstanding starting pitcher, and one to the most outstanding reliever.

MLB Hall of Fame predictor

Hall of Famer Bob Lemon, three-time AL winner

Winning three (3) or more Starting 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 one exception.[253] Active players are not eligible for the Hall of Fame.

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.[254] Clemens alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs is the major stumbling block to be elected to the Hall of Fame.[255]

Starting 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.[256] Kershaw's and Scherzer statistics are through the 2017 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 (WP: 10-15, 9IP, 5K, 3H, 0BB, 0R) of New York Mets pitched a complete game shutout defeating Orel Hershiser (LP:14-10, 8IP, 4K, 8H, 1BB, 1ER) of the Dodgers 1–0.[261]
  • On May 9, 2013 Toronto's R. A. Dickey (6IP, 5K, 5H, 5BB, 2ER) pitched against David Price (8IP, 8K, 7H, 1BB, 2ER)of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays won in 10 innings 5–4, neither starting pitcher got a decision.[262]
  • Arizona's Zach Greinke (WP:7-3, 11K, 7IP, 4H, 0BB, 0R) bested (3-0) Houston's Dallas Keuchel (LP:3-7, 6IP, 6K, 6H, 1BB, 3 ER) on June 2, 2016.[263]

Organizations

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the only organization whose pitchers have won the Pitcher of the Year Award in 5 consecutive years: 1962–1966 (Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax) and 2013-2017 (Kershaw, Greinke and Jansen). Los Angeles (Brooklyn) Dodgers pitchers have won the award 17 times; Atlanta (Boston and Milwaukee) Braves pitchers have won the award 13 times. The following organizations have never had a pitcher win the award: Cincinnati Reds, Colorado Rockies, Florida Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers.

The Detroit Tigers have three pitchers who have won consecutive awards — Hal Newhouser (1944–45), Denny McLain (1968–69) and Justin Verlander (2011–12). Each was also Player of the Year and AL MVP at least once while being Pitcher of the Year.[1][2]

The Atlanta (Boston and Milwaukee) Braves also have three pitchers who have won consecutive awards — Warren Spahn (1957–58), Greg Maddux (1992–95) and Craig Kimbrel (2013–14).
