Might want to consider Guy Hecker in 1884. With Louisville that year Hecker was 52-20 with a 1.80 ERA. He pitched 670.2 innings, had 385 Ks, and a 0.868 WHIP.

John Clarkson had a pretty decent 1885:

53 wins/16 losses
70 games started (68 complete games)
623 innings
10 shutouts
1.85 ERA
308 strikeouts
0.953 WHIP

Those are some crazy numbers. The game sure has changed.

Nolan Ryan would have gone 63-3, 0.71 ERA, 566 K's if he pitched in 1885....probably would have walked over 500 guys though!

Just saw this thread, not sure how I missed it. I think I might try to collect some George Core cards, he never gets any mention anywhere
