Hanik Drenik


The earliest super ace, Drenik still holds the mark for most Ace Awards in the IL and was one of the more unlikely superstars. Drafted with the 33rd overall pick by Puerto Rico in 1807 at the age of 24, Drenik won the Rookie Award the following year going 17-6. Two years after that, Drenik became a fixture winner of the Ace Award, winning it 8 of the next 9 years. The one year he did not win (1813) was also the only year Drenik lost more than 8 games, his record being 20-10 that year.

Drenik had a somewhat short career with only 14 full years in the rotation, but during that time he was best ever at minimizing losses. Drenik would win 5 World Series rings with Puerto Rico, 8 Ace Awards, 1 Rookie Award and was an 8 time all-star. His final career numbers were 287-93 with a 2.30 ERA.

Drenik ended up with the 3rd best ERA, 10th most wins, Best ever Win% (.755), 7th most CG, 7th most shutouts, and 17th best WHIP (1.00)
