While Pete Vuckovich would win the Cy Young Award in 1982 and finish fourth in voting the year before that, he probably shouldn’t have. Vuckovich won on the strength of am 18-6 record but had a WHIP over 1.5 and did not finish in the top ten in bWAR for Pitchers. Actually, he really wasn’t close.
Still, Vuckovich DID win the Cy Young and was a starter for the Brewers for enough years to warrant his spot here. In traditional Wins and Losses he went 40 and 26 and twice led the AL in Won/Loss Percentage.
