''Sporting News'' established the Pitcher of the Year Award in 1944.〔〔 The award is given annually to the pitcher in each league having the most outstanding season. No awards were given in 1946 or 1947.〔〔 This award was established before there was a Cy Young Award.〔〔 The Cy Young Award is voted by baseball writers from each city, and critics claim the writers who follow a particular team or player throughout a season are naturally disposed to vote for him.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Detroit News Opinion )〕 The Pitcher of the Year Award is given annually to the pitcher in each league judged by ''Sporting News'' baseball experts as having had the most outstanding season, and is one of the oldest and most prestigious pitching awards in Major League Baseball. ==History== By the Second World War, the ''Sporting News'' (formerly TSN, now SN), had been giving Player of the Year and Manager of the Year awards since 1936, and an annual Most Valuable Player Award since 1929.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Baseball Almanac Pitcher of the Year Award )〕 In 1944, the ''Sporting News'' inaugurated its Pitcher of the Year Award, which has been given each year since to the most outstanding pitcher in each league, with a brief hiatus from 1946–47. 〔 Beginning in 2013, the ''Sporting News'' issued two awards per league—one to the most outstanding starting pitcher, and one to the most outstanding reliever. Hal Newhouser (W-L: 26–9, ERA: 1.94, Ks: 275) could have narrowly won the award or tied with Bob Feller (W-L: 26–15, ERA: 2.18, Ks: 348) for a third time in 1946 based upon his statistics.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hal Newhouser Baseball Almanac Statistics )〕〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bob Feller Baseball Almanac Statistics )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sporting News Pitcher of the Year Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
