2019 Ben McDonald candidates
There was no 20-game winner in 2019. There was no historic season by a relief pitcher. It seems like the race for the Ben McDonald Award is much more wide open than in years past.

There was no lack of solid campaigns by pitchers in the DMBL in 2019 but nothing quite spectacular.
No 20-game winners. The ERA king approached 3.00. Even the saves leader finished with a ho-hum total.
