The pitching sensation of the Texas League in 1938 was "Dizzy" Trout, who won 22 games for the Beaumont Club, losing only 6. He allowed only 180 hits in 233 innings of pitching, striking out 155 batters for an earned-run average of 2.16. For this record, one of the most impressive compiled by a minor leaguer, Dizzy was awarded the "most valuable player" award in the Texas League. He came up to the majors this year as a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, along with his teammate and roommate, "Schoolboy" Rowe. Trout has been taking his regular turn at pitching for the Tigers and has won his share of the games.
