So without spoiling who the player is, he was pretty dominant throughout the course of the one season. He gets sent off to War, and while playing baseball in the services, severely injured his arm. He was never the same when he came back and retired a few years later.

BaseballReference.Com has an interesting portion of each player's page in which, through some involved process, the players most similar to that player are listed.


The object of this trivia question is listed as the most similar pitcher- at this point anyway- to Shohei Ohtani.




Otherwise, I never would have heard of Johnny Beazley.
