Pitchers can win the MVP, sure, but those occasions are rare. Every year, though, a pitcher wins the Cy Young in both the American League and National League. Here is every NL Cy Young winner of the new millennium.
The public doesn't hear from former SF Giants ace Tim Lincecum much. But when his old manager won the World Series with the Texas Rangers, Lincecum sent a rare message to Bruce Bochy.
Tim Lincecum is a San Francisco Giants legend. That’s a fact and there is no way to build a case against it. The man, over the first half of his career, was downright dominant.

While no-nos are obviously tremendous accomplishments, the list of pitchers who have thrown one includes some names you wouldn't expect. When it comes to hurlers who have done it more than once, that is understandably not the case.
In MLB history, a pitcher has won 18 or more games while losing five or fewer games while also recording 200 strikeouts on just 31 occasions. How many of the 31 can you name in five minutes?
