Bobby Tolan had an absolutely monstrous year for the Phillies (or rather the Blue Jays as they were known in 1943 and 1944) in 1944. He led the NL in PA (757), AB (703), R (133), H (249), SB (52), AVG (.354), and position player WAR (10.8). He also hit 29 HR and had 125 RBI. Pinto, Mantle, Breitenstein and Alvin Davis all had very strong years, but Tolan's was definitely a cut above.
