Voters still overrate pitchers’ records despite how much luck plays into the numbers, but not as much as voters did in 1990. Welch went 27-6 to claim Cy Young honors even though a 27-year-old Roger Clemens went 21-6 with a majors-leading 1.93 ERA, which was more than a full run lower than Welch’s ERA.
