He's leading the league in hitting with a .360+ average 80 games in.

7th overall pick in the 1901 amateur draft (1st ever amateur draft in this game). HoFer in 1928. He's sort of in the middle of my HoF in terms of SP, but could shift towards the bottom when it's all said and done. 65.0 WAR, 52.8 JAWS (Avg currently is 53 for JAWS for SP, so he's an average HoFer in this regard), 3.68 ERA (the highest in my Hall is 3.69: Dutch E Leonard), 239-201, with almost 4,000 IP. 1909 AL Cy Young and MVP, 1913 AL Cy Young, 1904 GG at P, 5-time A-S (1907, 1909, 1912-1914), 1907 World Champion with Philadelphia Athletics.
Despite being on the losing team (4-2 vs St. Louis Browns), he was named the 1904 ALCS MVP as he pitched back to back shutouts to give the Browns their only two losses. (I put the top two teams in both the AL and the NL in the postseason). Career postseason record: 19 G, 17 GS, 134.2 IP, 138 H, 44 ER, 12 HR, 29 BB, 84 K, 1.24 WHIP, 0.8 HR/9, 1.9 BB/9, 5.6 K/9, 2.90 K/BB, 8-6, 2.94 ERA, hitters batted .260/.306/.377/.684 against him, he received an average of 3.18 runs per start, 13/17 Quality Starts, 5 CG, 2 SHO, 58.8% GB%, 3.55 FIP (I know you were waiting breathlessly for that last one
). Picture below:
