Christy Mathewson- Matty actually broke into the league in 1900 before the Replay League got started, but he didn't do much until 1901, so for most purposes, his career all fell within the Replay League. He remained with the Giants until he retired at age 38.

Here's his overall numbers-

Games Started- 542 (35th)
Innings Pitched- 4995.1 (7th)
Complete Games- 424 (13th)
Wins- 317 (8th)
Shutouts- 67 (1st)
Strikeouts- 2269 (69th)
K/9- 4.1
ERA- 2.37 (14th)
WHIP- 1.13 (T-24th)
WAR- 105.4 (6th)

Christy won 20+ games 9 times and led the league twice. Despite having the 14th best ERA of all time, he only led the league twice. However, other than his 1900 season that was not part of the Replay League, he never had an ERA above 2.94 in his 20 year career. He had a number of very impressive seasons. One of the best was in 1908 when he went 28-8 with a 2.00 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 164 Ks in 347.1 IP. 1913 was another great year, as he went 25-13 with 9 shutouts, a 1.96 ERA, .94 WHIP and 108 Ks in 344.1 IP. He only pitched as a starter for one more season, however, as the Giants moved him to the bullpen from his ag 34-37 seasons. In his final year, he started 15 out of the 21 games he pitched in and showed he was still a great pitcher with a 2.46 ERA....but only 37 Ks in 131.2 IP.

On 9/29/1908, he pitched a no-hitter against the Reds.

Christy never won a World Series, but he won a number of individual honors, including being a 2-time Silver Slugger, 15 time All-Star and 3 time Cy Young Award winner.. He was voted into the HOF with 98.3% of the vote in 1925.
