Where to start? Through the years there have been many Dodgers who have had outstanding and career years. I thought about this because of the outstanding performances this season by Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman.
Sometimes one year defines a player’s whole career. As good as he was over the course of his career, Fernando, even though he threw a no-hitter and had a 20-win season, he never quite reached the level of dominance he had his first season.
He had 8 shutouts that year and in a truncated season to boot. He won his only Cy Young award and was the Rookie of the Year.
