On Wednesday I wrote an article about the Yankees 1958 World Series victory. While researching that piece, I came across a legendary pitching performance from Bob Turley that I had never heard about before
During the regular season, Turley threw 245.1 innings en route to winning his first (and only) Cy Young. Thanks to a lively fastball, he pitched to a 21-7 record with 168 strikeouts while posting a 2.97 ERA, 119 ERA+, and 4.04 FIP. He threw 19 complete games. 19! Of those, six were shutouts.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go his way in the playoffs.
