Dewey LaMarr Hoyt, Jr. (born January 1, 1955, in Columbia, South Carolina) is a former Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher who won the American League Cy Young Award. ==Chicago White Sox== Originally signed by the New York Yankees in the fifth round of the 1973 Major League Baseball Draft, Hoyt was traded with fellow pitching prospect Bob Polinsky, outfielder Oscar Gamble and $200,000 to the Chicago White Sox in a season-opening deal that sent the Yankees shortstop Bucky Dent. A relief pitcher when he made the White Sox to stay in , Hoyt was switched to the starting rotation in and tied a club record by winning his first nine decisions. The record was first set by Lefty Williams in and equaled by Orval Grove in . Hoyt ended up leading the American League with nineteen wins and showed devastating control on the mound; he walked a mere 48 batters in 239.2 innings. Hoyt was even better in , winning the American League Cy Young Award. His 24-10 won-lost record, 3.66 earned run average and even better control than the previous season, (walking 31 batters in 260.2 innings, and leading the league in fewest walks per nine innings for the first of three straight seasons), helped the White Sox capture the American League West title. He pitched a complete game victory over the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of the 1983 American League Championship Series, giving up only one run on five hits with no walks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1983 American League Championship Series, Game One )〕 This was the only game the ChiSox won in the series. The White Sox faltered in 1984, as Hoyt's record fell to 13-18 with a 4.47 ERA. Ironically, he went from winning the most games in the American League in 1983 to losing the most games the following year. Hoping for a rebound from the former Cy Young Award winner, the San Diego Padres traded Ozzie Guillén, Tim Lollar, Bill Long and Luis Salazar to the White Sox for Hoyt, Kevin Kristan and Todd Simmons during the 1984- off-season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LaMarr Hoyt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
