Okay, so the other day I was thinking, who are those White Sox pitchers that bagged like 20 wins in a season? It’s a pretty big deal, you know, hitting that 20-win mark. So, I started digging around.
First, I hit up the usual spots online, trying to find some simple lists. I wanted to see the names of those who managed to pull off this 20-win thing. It’s kinda cool to look back at these records and see who did what. I even checked out some lists of the “greatest” pitchers in White Sox history to see if there were any familiar names. I tried to figure out what their best season record was. I was mainly hunting for seasons where these guys were on fire, you know, just dominating.
Then, I got a bit more specific. I looked up individual pitchers. Some of the 2025 pitchers include Justin Anderson, Prelander Berroa, Sean Burke. I looked for anything about their best seasons. It was a bit of a mixed bag, and not all of them have hit the 20-win milestone yet. There was a lot of jumping back and forth between different pages and, honestly, it got a bit messy.
I also tried to see if there were any patterns or certain years that stood out. Like, was there a year when a bunch of White Sox pitchers hit 20 wins? Turns out, it’s pretty rare. But I did find some cool stuff about past players. For instance, I stumbled upon this one day in 1948, there was this big trade between the Chicago White Sox and another team. That was a neat little history lesson. I read that in 2012, Gio Gonzalez became the first National League pitcher with twenty-or-more wins. That was pretty cool.
And, just for kicks, I checked out some all-time great lists. You know, those “Top 10” lists that rank the best pitchers for the White Sox. It was fun to see those names and think about how they stack up against today’s players.
Here’s What I Learned About White Sox 20 Win Pitchers
So, after all that digging, here’s what I came away with:
- It’s a Big Deal: Getting 20 wins in a season is no small feat. It really puts a pitcher in a special category.
- History is Cool: There are some awesome stories from the past. Those old-time players were really something.
- It’s Rare: Not many have done it, which makes those who have even more impressive.
In the end, it was a fun little research project. It’s always cool to learn more about the history of the game and the players who made their mark. And who knows, maybe this season we’ll see someone new hit that 20-win milestone!
