Top Arm Nods Go To Dyson and Poe

Awards may not be the most important thing for Hollis Dyson, but Washington's left-hander smiled as he was named the AMERICAN LEAGUE PITCHER OF THE YEAR winner. This season Dyson compiled an ERA of 3.63, going 26-10 in 41 starts. He fanned 150 while giving up 337 hits in 322.1 innings. He's 8th in the AMERICAN LEAGUE in ERA and 2nd in wins!

The 1922 NATIONAL LEAGUE PITCHER OF THE YEAR winner is from Boston (N) this year. Gabriel Poe put together impressive numbers on the mound this season as is his habit, but this year he was finally rewarded. His ERA of 2.26 helped him to a 27-4 record this year. He struck out 183 and walked 69 in 330.2 innings. He has 9 complete games and 4 shutouts. He's 1st in the NATIONAL LEAGUE in ERA and 1st in wins!


Coltrane Wins His 2nd BATTER OF THE YEAR Award; Dane Repeats in the NL.

The AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTER OF THE YEAR goes to Julius Coltrane this year. He had an extraordinary season! His season numbers are: .366 AVG, 200 hits, 48 doubles, 10 triples and 12 bombs, along with 141 RBI and 117 runs scored. He's 2nd in the AMERICAN LEAGUE in batting and 1st in RBI! Coltrane wins the award for the 2nd time in his 11-year career.

The 1922 NATIONAL LEAGUE BATTER OF THE YEAR winner has been announced as well. It's Brooklyn's first baseman Jim Dane who really had a great offensive year. While compiling an on base percentage of .371, Jim hit .295 and slugged .559. He has collected 124 runs batted in this year. He's 1st in the NATIONAL LEAGUE in RBIs and 2nd in homeruns! Dane wins the award for the 2nd time in his 8-year career.

Young Backstops Win ROOKIE OF THE YEAR in Both Leagues

Getting an award is a nice way to start a career. Washington's Del McLeary smiled as he was named the AMERICAN LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR winner. Del is hitting .339 this year, with 131 hits in 387 at bats. He has driven in 78 runs, slugging .465.

Seymour Humphrey was named the NATIONAL LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR winner today. Chicago (N)'s catcher put up pretty good numbers for a rookie this year. This 22 year old kid will probably have a long and successful career! Humphrey has walked 30 times this year and posts a .330 OBP. While batting .272, 96 for 353, he has driven in 45 runs.
