Leading pitchers of last season fail to replicate big year
Major league pitchers seldom post two strong seasons in a row. George Uhle led the American League last season and Adolf Luque topped the National, yet both struggle for consistency this year. Cincinnati’s Luque is cited by Reds as unlikely to duplicate 1923 form despite early confidence. Tim Bagby’s decline after a 31-win 1920 pennant run is cited as a cautionary tale.
