Pitching
In the American League, the dominant pitcher once again was James Haselman,who lead the league in ERA, Wins, Strikeouts, WHIP and Quality Starts. His 0.90 WHIP was the 5th best all time, and his 28 quality starts tied for 5th best all time. I think it's safe to say, a record breaking 5th Cy Young Award is in his future. Also worth a mention, Paulie Flynn tied for 2nd best all time in Complete Games with 10 and set a new record for shutouts with 5. Very impressive! In the National League, Willie Arredondo tied the mark for 5th most Wins with 23, while Rusty Hogan led the league in ERA and WHIP. Here are the complete pitching league leaders!
