PITCHING
In the American League, it was a disappointing season for Atlanta's Francisco Aramboles, as he did not lead the AL in Saves. Other than that, he held at least a share of the lead for every other major category (ERA, Wins, Strikeouts, WHIP, IP, QS, Shutout leader, CG co-leader). His 253 strikeouts were 5th most all-time, and he now owns the top 5 single season strikeout marks. His 30 quality starts tie him for 2nd all-time, becoming only the 5th player to reach 30 quality starts in a season all-time. I think we have a favorite for the Cy Young here!
In the National League, there wasn't a single dominant pitcher like in the AL, but a few great seasons were had nonetheless. Chick Munson of Nashville led the league in ERA and strikeouts. Don Monahan of Las Vegas makes the leaders list once again, leading the NL in WHIP and was a co-leader in Complete Games. Seattle's Albert Tapies also was a co-leader in Complete Games and led the NL in shutouts.
