This is one of the most legendary pitching seasons in baseball history:

• ERA: 1.12 — Modern MLB record for lowest ERA in a single season (since 1920).

• Wins: 22

• Complete Games: 28

• Shutouts: 13

• Innings Pitched: 304.2

• Strikeouts: 268

• WHIP: 0.853

• Batting average against: .184

• ERA+ (Adjusted ERA): 258 (incredible; league average is 100)

That season was so dominant that MLB lowered the mound from 15 inches to 10 inches starting in 1969 to give hitters a better chance.
