With all of that being said, Brandt’s first three seasons were not very good as he had an Earned Run Average over 5 in each of those years as well as leading the National League in Losses as a rookie. Brandt turned it all around in his fourth season (1931) where he went 18-11 with a 2.92 ERA, which was good enough for third in the NL. He was also third in bWAR for Pitchers and was 10th in MVP voting.
Brandt did not have a season where he received MVP voting again but he would post 16 Wins the next three years and was the ace of the Braves staff. He also wasn’t a bad hitting Pitcher as he batted .245 with 150 Hits as a Brave.
