Cartwright Award - Nominees

George Bradley, Cleveland Blues* - RHP (31-16, 2.44, 416.1 IP, 401 H, 82 BB, 92 K, 5 HR) - After seeing little action in recent years, he won the everyday job in Cleveland and responded well. To the Blues' surprise, he has elected to sell his talents on the open market this offseason, so he'll probably attract some high bids.

Larry Corcoran, Chicago White Stockings - RHP (38-18, 1.83, 500.1 IP, 413 H, 75 BB, 341 K, 8 HR) - It's true that he's "only" a 21-year-old rookie. But he ended up leading the league in innings pitched, wins (by seven!), strikeouts, and average-against, while finishing third in ERA. An incredible rookie season.

Curry Foley, Boston Red Caps - LHP (29-22, 2.18, 450.0 IP, 449 H, 51 BB, 209 K, 5 HR) - He's played in two big league seasons, and been the primary pitcher on two championship teams. There are those who say his success is due to the team he's on, but the reality is that he's a very good pitcher.

Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans - RHP (31-22, 2.18, 470.2 IP, 470 H, 42 BB, 240 K, 3 HR) - He just keeps getting a little better each year. This was Galvin's first 30-win campaign, and despite the fact that he's a six-year veteran he's still only 23 years old. Will probably continue to be a big part of Troy's attack going forward.

Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds* - LHP (24-16, 1.80, 360.2 IP, 344 H, 26 BB, 229 K, 2 HR) - He had something of a hard-luck season this year with Cincinnati, but still led the league in K:BB ratio, and will probably command a huge salary this off-season.

And the 1880 Cartwright Award winner is... LARRY CORCORAN. Corcoran had such an amazing rookie year, there's simply no way to avoid giving his this award as well. Galvin finished a distant second, while defending winner Bobby Mitchell took third.
