    This was cooool. Great seeing Bailey on this channel, as always. Not sure how "one hit wonder" is defined, but I pulled up some examples from my childhood days...
    1976 Mark "Bird" Fidrych: Weird dude, liked to talk to the ball before pitching... Leads the AL in ERA (2.34) and ERA+ (159), wins ROY but finishes second in the CY to Jim Palmer because the voters used to cream their pants for 20-win seasons... Pitched 162.0 innings across the next four injury-plagued years... Famously said "bullshit" during a live postgame interview, years before Charlie Rocket dropped an F-bomb on SNL.
    1980 Miguel Dilone: Batted .341 in the year George Brett flirted with .400, and stole 61 bases in a season when three different players swiped at least 96, plus he was in Cleveland, which is why even most fans my age don't remember him... Pretty much never an everyday player, seeing action in 800 games across 12 seasons, with 1980 being the closest to a full season.
    Note: the 1980 season was huge for SBs in general. Several players who no one remembers had massive career highs that year: Rodney Scott (63), Jerry Mumphrey (52), Gene Richards (61) and Dave Collins (79). A few other players better known for other things also had career-best SB years: Ron LeFlore (97), Bump Wills (52), Ozzie Smith (57) and Ivan DeJesus (44). Omar Moreno had 96 bags after pacing the NL in that category in the two previous years, yet did NOT lead the league because LeFlore had gone from Detroit to Montreal that year. Finally, 1980 marked the first time ever that an American Leaguer went for triple digits, as some kid named Rickey Henderson stole exactly 100. Not sure why this one season had so many huge SB performers, but it did.
    1980 Doug Corbett and Joe Charboneau: Corbett had a 221 ERA+ (1.98 ERA) with 5.7 WAR as a rookie yet finished with 9.3 career WAR... Finished 3rd in the ROY behind another guy who most GenXers think of when it comes to one-year wonders: Charboneau, who hit .289/.358/.488 in that first year but had 210 PAs for the rest of his brief career, giving him the distinction of having the shortest career of any ROY winner... And I just want to mention the ROY runner-up: Dave Stapleton, a solid glove guy at multiple positions, who in the 1986 World Series was Bill Buckner's late-inning defensive replacement in Games 1, 2 and 5 but not 6... Hell, I'm a Red Sox fan and I didn't remember Stapleton being a decent hitter, but he certainly was as a rookie.
    1992 Pat Listach: Came up in a span when I wasn't following baseball quite as avidly, so I don't remember much about him as a player except that he won the ROY and had Tim Kurkjian gushing in some Sports Illustrated year-end recap video... Posted 4.5 WAR with 54 bags in that first year but finished with a career 4.3 WAR, which tells you his overall trajectory... Personally, I know him better as the visiting manager whenever Tacoma came to town in the mid-2010s... Never once got a complaint from him, perhaps because a) I don't think Listach knew there was a press box phone in the dugout, and b) the Rainers radio guy refuses to be the go-between for a manager and OS.
    1983 Atlee Hammaker: Led the NL in ERA (2.25), ERA+ (159), FIP (2.57) and WHIP (1.039)... One of my dad's favorite players because he was half-Japanese... Joined Dave Dravecky and Scott Garrelts as a nucleus as very God-fearing, clean-living members of the Giants' pitching staff... Garrelts ended up having one beast of a season himself in 1989, the same year that Dravecky's arm snapped while attempting a comeback from cancer... And yet the end of the 1989 Giants season might be the most famous (or infamous) part of the year, especially for those of us living in Northern California... Fun fact: Sacramento State had a volleyball player named Atlee in the mid-2000s who was named such because her parents were huge Giants fans.
    1978 Mike Caldwell: Had some sneaky good years sprinkled earlier in his career... Still, he never came close to the time when he had a 2.36 ERA and a 160 ERA+, but no remembers because he happened to do it in a year when Ron Guidry was in beast mode... Also led the league with 23 CGs, which is probably why his career started going downhill fast - Caldwell was one of the last guys not on Billy Martin's A's teams to post 20-plus CGs in a year
    1985 John Tudor: Okay, this guy definitely does NOT count because he was actually pretty solid for most the 1980s, but in this one season, he had 10 shutouts and a league-leading 0.938 WHIP. Never approached either before nor after, but not many have... In the last 60 years, the following pitchers have broken double-digit shutouts in a season: Dean Chance (11 in 1964), Juan Marichal (10 in 1965), Bob Gibson (13 in 1968), Jim Palmer (10 in 1975) and Tudor. And Tudor will almost certainly be the last player ever to do that because teams and coaching staffs have wised up on how to most effectively use starting pitchers.

      @daytripper1023 13 днів тому +1

      @@BKF0as a Tigers fan, I would have never expected to see a year where Verlander lost out on a Cy Young award to Porcello. He was a really solid back of the rotation arm that would pitch a lot of innings and usually gave you a chance to win though. He actually had a great season his last year with Detroit in 2014, so that arguably keeps him from being a true one year wonder. I still think Verlander deserved the Cy Young in 2016, but Porcello definitely fit the mold of a classic Cy Young winner with the 20+ wins and over 200 innings. It’s funny that he went from leading MLB in wins in 2016 to leading all of MLB in losses in 2017

    2001 Luis Gonzales. 173 wRC+, no other season was over 137. 57 hr, 31 was second highest. Also, literally was the winning hit in what is quite possibly the most dramatic game 7 WS win of all time. I think you could argue he was good enough the rest of his career that he's not really a one hit wonder. But the 2001 season was elite where as everything else was merely "very good". Honestly, looking over his stats page, kinda feel like they should have got him in the HoF. It's marginal, but I think winning the 2001 WS puts it over.

Both Looking at their baseball reference pages, you can make the arguement they had 1-year wonder seasons based on WAR, but for both their best season was 92, when the team finished last in the division.

He really had no competition in that race (Cy Young Award was a different story). He broke his wrist slamming his bat early Sept. and missed the rest of the season. That dumb moment cost his that award. As a bitter White Sox fan, it's a painful memory but its burned into my brain.

    I would add 2006 Gary Matthews Jr. Was an all star, finished top 10 in AL position player WAR, was a career .257 hitter who hit .313 and made that one spectacular catch against Houston

    Fun Andres Torres fact: In 2010, he had to get an appendectomy in mid-September, but he managed to come back in less than 2 weeks to help the Giants win the division and later the World Series

    Whats strange with Marwin Gonzalez' 2017 is that its not that far from the years he was having in terms of WAR. The hitting is just such an outlier.

    2018 Kyle Freeland had one of the two best Rockies pitching seasons ever (the other being 2010 Ubaldo) and I’d argue he’s more of a 1 hit wonder than Ubaldo. 8 war season and never again over 3.5

    It's not a one-year wonder because it was over two years, but Arrieta. Last 20 starts of 2015, 0.86 ERA, first 15 starts of 2016, 1.74 ERA. In those 35 straight starts, 245 innings and a 1.21 ERA. Greatest 35 start stretch in baseball history, just a shame it wasn't one full season.

      I looked at him too. Only three seasons of an OPS+ over 100 (excluding his first season with 33 games). I’m a Sox fan and I remember being so pumped on Ellsbury as a kid, then never really repeated the 2011 season.
      I think if either of them had chosen Ellsbury in the draft, the other would have okay’d it.
