So they need to pick deGrom 10-20X to make up for that nonsense. I was like, who the fuck is Dick Hughes? So I looked him up. The kid had a good year. 16-6 for the Cards in 1967 (Tom was 16-13). Had a league leading 0.954 WHIP. Allowed only 6.6 hits per 9, also tops. He may have gotten the SN one but Seaver got 55% of the vote for the ROY (to Dick's 30%-good for second) . Dick received 17 MVP votes. Seaver, 22. Hughes was all done in 1968. No indication what happened to him.
