During the first year of the two league platform, Tannehill paced the National League with a microscopic 2.18 ERA. Even better in 1902, Jesse lowered his ERA to 1.95 and posted another 20-win season with his trademark exceptional control. He tossed 231 innings for the Pirates and only issued 25 free passes–good for a 4-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Jesse’s 0.108 walks per inning was better than Hall of Fame peers Jack Chesbro (0.217), Vic Willis (0.246) and Cy Young (0.138).See the full article here.
