Cartwright Award - Nominees

Curry Foley, Boston Red Caps - LHP (33-15, 2.33, 429.0 IP, 434 H, 34 BB, 197 K, 7 HR) - This young southpaw unexpectedly won the primary pitching job from Foghorn Bradley this season and didn't disappoint, helping lead the Red Caps to their first National League pennant.

Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds - LHP (32-18, 1.98, 432.1 IP, 425 H, 40 BB, 233 K, 6 HR) - He just keeps getting better and better, and the scary part is that he is only 23 years old.

The Only Nolan, Syracuse Stars - RHP (28-17, 2.09, 400.1 IP, 413 H, 39 BB, 177 K, 3 HR) - This inexperienced pitcher did a great job for Syracuse, unexpectedly catapulting the now-defunct team into sudden contention.

J. O'Neill, Chicago White Stockings - RHP (22-23, 2.40, 385.2 IP, 471 H, 33 BB, 102 K, 6 HR) - He had a very solid season, despite the fact that the players behind him changed on what seemed like a daily basis. Not much chance of winning the award, but he did have a legitimately strong season.

John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays - RHP (17-28, 2.42, 352.2 IP, 437 H, 29 BB, 222 K, 3 HR) - An outstanding pitcher who's finally getting some recognition. Until the team around him is overhauled, it's likely the only recognition he's going to get.

And the 1879 Cartwright Award winner is... BOBBY MITCHELL. Mitchell was close last year, and now that the defense-first Reds actually contended for the title this year, it's the right time and the right player.
