Default often overlooked pitcher

I voted for Cy Young... but I am tempted to say Babe Ruth, who is easily the best player ever.

It makes me sad that Grover Cleveland Alexander didn't even make the list.

373 wins
2.56 ERA
90 Career Shutouts
Three 30 win seasons in a row (1915-17)

Walter Johnson. He accomplished quite a bit without a decent lineup behind him for most of his career.

Single seasons you have to mention Steve Carlton 1972 (27 wins for a last place team) and Pedro Martinez 2000 (1.74 ERA in an age where that is essentially impossible).

Default the other Johnson

In their prime, I'd pick Randy the "Big Unit" Johnson.
