Sabathia made his major league debut with Cleveland in 2001 and would win his only Cy Young award in his last full season there in 2007. He was dealt to the Brewers at the 2008 trade deadline, where he put together a legendary run to help Milwaukee to the playoffs before signing. seven-year, $161 million contract with the Yankees as a free agent for 2009 and beyond.
In 11 seasons with the Yankees, Sabathia won a World Series as the staff’s ace in 2009 and totaled 134 wins and 1,700 strikeouts in 306 starts. His 97 playoff K’s rank fifth in Yankee history, sandwiched between Whitey Ford’s 94 and Roger Clemens’ 99.
That brings us to today’s quiz. While wins for starting pitchers have diminished in importance as a statistic with a small number of pitches and shorter leashes for many starters, the Yankees were happy to have him leading all of baseball in the category in 2009 and 2010. With that being said, can you name the pitchers who have led the American League in wins for each season since 2000?
Success!
