For all the great seasons pitchers like Johnson, Clemens and Schilling put together, no one could compare to Pedro's 1999 Cy Young campaign.

On his way to a WAR of 11.6, Martinez struck out a ridiculous 13.2 batters and allowed just 0.38 homers per nine. He finished the year with a FIP of 1.39 in addition to 23 wins in 29 starts, which was enough for second in the AL MVP voting.
