Orel Hershiser IV is a former right-handed pitcher. He possessed very fine control, and his average velocity on his fastball was more than made up for with its tremendous sinking action. In 1988, he won the Gold Glove, Cy Young Award, the NLCS MVP and the World Series MVP with the Dodgers. Hershiser was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 17th round of the 1979 amateur draft out of Bowling Green State University. Hershiser put together one of the best single seasons in pitching history in 1988. That year, he led the league in wins (23), innings (267), and complete games (15). He finished the season with a record 59 consecutive scoreless innings pitched, breaking the mark held by Dodger great Don Drysdale. He also won his first Gold Glove. He was unanimously selected as the Cy Young Award winner, with a record of 23-8 and a 2.26 ERA. In his career, Hershiser had a 204-149 regular season record with 2,014 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.48.
