Atlanta's Greg Maddux on Monday won the award given to the National League's best pitcher for the fourth straight year. The ace of the Braves' pitching staff dominated the league this year, with an NL-high 19 wins and a 1.63 earned run average, and led the Braves to their first world championship since 1957. The diminutive Maddux, who TIME's Steve Wulf calls "the best pitcher of his generation," beat out several others including Hideo Nomo, the Los Angeles Dodgers Rookie of the Year.
