He finished fifth in the Cy Young voting that season and was named World Series MVP after allowing four runs and striking out 14 batters in 14 1/3 innings in two starts against the Astros. He pitched into the ninth inning in a Game 6 win for the Nats, who won the Fall Classic in seven games.

4) Charles Johnson (1971)

He won Gold Gloves in his first four full seasons in the Major Leagues (1995-98) and was an All-Star in 1997, hitting .357 in the World Series that year to help the Marlins to their first championship. After stints with the Dodgers, Orioles and White Sox, he returned to the Marlins in 2001 and made his second and final All-Star team.
