Aside from Ruth, Wes Ferrell was probably the best hitting pitcher in history. In 1931 he hit 319 with 9 home runs and 30 RBIs. He also went 22-12 that year. In 1935 he was even better: 347 average 7 home runs and and 32 RBIs. He also led the league with 25 wins that year. Six time 20 game winner and career 280 hitter. Strong case could be made for his induction into the HOF as a complete player.
