No huge individual seasons over in the NL in 1949 either. Al Spalding winning MVP and placing fourth in the Cy Young voting is interesting. He went 19-9 with a 2.87 ERA and led the league in IP with 260.1. He won the Silver Slugger for pitchers though with a .366/.373/.463/.837 slash line with 1 HR and 9 RBI in 99 PA, which was good for a 136 OPS+, and a 100 wRC+. Fritz Clausen went 20-9, 2.37 over 258.0 IP (led league in Wins and ERA), while Erik Bedard was 16-6, 2.64 over 248.2 IP, and Pedro J Martinez went 19-6, 3.12 over 248.0 IP (led league in WHIP [1.04] and pitcher WAR [8.1]).
