List of Silver Slugger Award winners at pitcher

 * Nominator(s): KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 

The last of the Silver Slugger series. To all reviewers who have been so helpful in the promotion of the first six lists, I thank you. As with the DH list, it is half the size of the others! As these are completed, I will progress to WP:FTC. I appreciate all help and comments. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 11:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments by  T ru  c o  
 * Lead
 * 'He is also the leader in runs batted in, with 16 in that same season,[7] and is tied with Robinson (1982).' -- So how is he the leader but tied with Robinson?
 * Robinson and Hampton both have 16, so they are both the leader. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:14, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Cannot it not be reworded to state that more straightforward, like 'Guy A and Guy B are tied as the leaders in runs batted in'?-- T ru  c o   21:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 'Tom Glavine is a four-time winner (1991, 1995–1996, 1998) with the Atlanta Braves,[8] and Rick Rhoden (1984–1986) and Don Robinson (1982, 1989–1990) each own three Silver Sluggers.' -- Did Robinson and Rhoden win those awards with the same teams or multiple teams?-- T ru  c o   21:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Multiple, which is why I didn't elaborate. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:14, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Can that not be stated?-- T ru  c o   21:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Could be, but I don't see why it's necessary. Glavine's was mentioned to emphasize his longevity with the Braves. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Comments - Only a few minor things to clear up before I support. Good luck with the topic.
 * Move reference 5 to be after the comma.
 * "Mike Hampton has won the most Silver Slugger Awards as a pitcher; he won five consecutive awards with four different teams from 1999 to 2003." Redundant use of "won". Perhaps change the punctuation and use "winning"?
 * "Hampton has hit the most home runs in a pitcher's Silver Slugger-winning season; he hit seven in 2001." Here, "hit" is repeated. Personally, I like the "with" setup for numbers in the other lists, and later in this one. How about some variant of that.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 21:17, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Done all. I don't know HOW I missed that first one... KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks fine now. Great work on this series.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 00:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Support Comments  from
 * "Hampton's 1999 on-base percentage is also a record " Besides being unnecessary, "also" is confusing since it sounds as if you've referred to his on-base percentage before.
 * Sigh. Reworded. Done. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * "Orel Hershiser leads pitchers in batting average, with the .356 mark he set in 1993.[14] Micah Owings is the slugging percentage leader (.683 in 2007)." So Orel Hershiser leads pitchers in general, or just Silver Slugger-winning pitchers? Same with Owings. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
