Roger Chillingworth Award

The Roger Chillingworth award for best pitcher went to Miami's Jered DeMario and Toronto's Stephen Hamburg.

DeMario won 21 games against 7 losses, pitching 258 innings with a 2.68 ERA.  He walked 57 while striking out 188, and was 5.4 wins above replacement level.  

Hamburg, in his free agent walk season, won 17 games with a 2.69 ERA.  He struck out 269 against only 29 walks, and was 9.7 wins above replacement.

Jaret Benser finished second in the Superior League, and George White finished second in the major league.  The major league finish may be a bit controversial, as White had one more win (18) and a lower ERA (2.38).  Hamburg's advantage was in the strikeout to walk ratio, White's was an excellent 209-54, but not as otherworldly as Hamburg's.
