1. Pedro Martinez, Boston Red Sox (1999)

For all the great seasons pitchers like Johnson, Clemens and Schilling put together, no one could compare to Pedro's 1999 Cy Young campaign.

On his way to a WAR of 11.6, Martinez struck out a ridiculous 13.2 batters and allowed just 0.38 homers per nine. He finished the year with a FIP of 1.39 in addition to 23 wins in 29 starts, which was enough for second in the AL MVP voting.
