Mike Scott was the National League Cy Young Award winner in 1986 and this was in a season where he led the National League in ERA, FIP, WHIP, H9, SO9, Strikeouts, and SO/W. While that was Scott’s best season, he still had a lot left as he finished 7th and 2nd in Cy Young voting in years after. The three-time All-Star was the main reason the Astros made the playoffs in 1986, and he was named the NLCS MVP in the series that they lost, though Scott went the distance in both games, winning both and allowing only one run in the process. If only he had a bit of help!
Scott's number 33 was retired by the Astros in 1992, and in 2019, he entered the team's Hall of Fame in the first-ever class.
