1. DL from MN Posted: February 26, 2018 at 10:49 AM (#5630519)2) Joe DiMaggio
Haven't figured the rest out yet
Ruth 1923: .393/.545/.764
Williams 1941: .406/.553/.735
Bonds 2002: .370/.582/.799
Three different contexts, of course. And for each, there are other years that are candidates for their best year.
1. Ted Williams 94.67 runs
2. Joe DiMaggio 59.99 runs
3. Dolph Camilli 52.254 runs
4. Charlie Keller 48.58 runs
5. Stan Hack 41.92 runs
6. Mel Ott 40.84 runs
7. Pete Reiser 39.45 runs
8. Elbie Fletcher 36.72 runs
9. Jeff Heath 33.34 runs
10. Tommy Henrich 32.46 runs
11. Whit Wyatt 32.05 runs
12. Roy Cullenbine 31.69 runs
13. Bill Nicholson 30.03 runs
14. Nick Etten 29.13 runs
15. Cecil Travis 27.63 runs
16. Johnny Mize 27.33 runs
17. Taffy Wright 24.83 runs
18. Dixie Walker 24.51 runs
19. Joe Cronin 23.27 runs
In 1942 he came back to the states. 1943 was his last huge season and the NGL was losing players to the war.
1941 was basically his last year primarily as a catcher for MLE purposes.

This is odd because he clearly pitched more effectively in 1941. This season he was used quite often to finish games for Satchel Paige after Paige pitched the first 3 innings

The NGL stats show he pitched roughly the same innings in 1941 as 1940 but gave up 9 runs in 50.2 IP in 1941 compared to 27R in 45.2 IP in 1940.

I wouldn't rate his glove above average. He was anecdotally an indifferent fielder. He had a good season hitting but not as good as Leonard or Irvin or Ted Strong. I've got him close in value to Sam Chapman of the Athletics.
I have Ted Strong as marginally better at the plate but in RF instead of CF. He's also similar in value. Tommy Henrich and Joe Medwick are also in this range.

His bat compares well to Ted Strong and Buck Leonard while handling a more difficult defensive assignment. That bat is rare for SS but his glove would have to rate below average considering he was moved off the position rather quickly. I have him rated like Joe Cronin with less glove.

That should make it easier to take his MLE (which is regressed to career averages) and directly apply it to this season

He was good again but not appreciably better than Bill Byrd or Terris McDuffie

I think his numbers probably need to be regressed to the surrounding seasons but this is one of his best years. I don't have too much trouble seeing him as the 2nd best catcher in baseball behind Gibson.
1) Ted Williams - best hitter that ever lived
2) Joe DiMaggio - at his peak also
3) Thornton Lee - Never heard of this guy before, lots of innings with good rate stats
4) Cecil Travis - Good bat, decent glove
5) Pete Reiser - Very good glove season, great bat too
6) Bob Feller - dropoff from 1940 but still pitched 360 innings
7) Dolph Camilli - best bat not named Williams or DiMaggio
8) Charlie Keller
9) Bucky Walters - top pitchers had so many innings
10) Josh Gibson
11-15) Ray Brown, Elmer Riddle, Whit Wyatt, Joe Cronin, Hilton Smith
16-20) Monte Irvin, Bus Clarkson, Dixie Walker, Jeff Heath, Bill Byrd
Low scoring series 17-11 over the 5 games.
All your firends will say DiMaggio or Williams...
