Weird. Steve Carlton won 27 games his team 58 or so. That’s about half his teams wins.  Or I have no clue what WAR is :)

Here’s clue that will probably give it away….

The star pitcher on the player’s team is a Stanford grad.

I'm guessing the star pitcher from Stanford was Jim Lonborg, and that the answer to the original question must be Carl Yastrzemski in his triple crown year, 1967?

You got it…

Captain Carl won the Triple Crown with a WAR of 12.4.  The ‘67 season is known as the Impossible Dream in Boston.
