Good point. Many of Dihigo's best seasons were spent in Mexico. My favorite season of his is 1938, when he was 18-2 with 184 strikeouts and a 0.92 ERA in 22 games for Aguila, while hitting .387 with a .599 SLG, 9 stolen bases, 26 walks, 4 strikeouts, and an OBP of .482 in 142 at-bats.
Don't know of any else with a batting average four times higher than their ERA in a full season. (I know 0.92 is larger than .387, but you know what I mean.)
For his career in Mexico he was 119-57 with a 2.84 ERA on the mound, and .317/55/370 in 1917 at-bats.
