The The United States native won the award with 32 saves in 56 relief appearances, 63 strikeouts in 60.2 innings and a record of 4-7 to go with his 2.82 ERA. He received 20 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Joe Thatcher of the St. Louis Blues finished second in voting, while Lefty Clarke of the Atlanta X Giants finished third.
