Witt justified his billing as a rising star by going 9-2 (1.61) as a Pirate rookie in 1957. The redhead won just two more games after trying to pitch with a sore elbow in 1959. (ME)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » September 16, 1958: The Pirates keep their slim pennant hopes alive as they win a suspended game from the Cards, 2-1, then take the regular game, 3–1, behind Ron Kline. In the opener, young George Witt (9-2) picks up where he left off when the game was suspended six weeks ago, winning his 8th straight game. For Witt, plagued with arm troubles all year, it is his last appearance of the year, as he leaves on the 24th to finish his senior year at Long Beach State. Witt's 1.61 ERA in 106 innings is the National League's best. Alas, he'll go 0-7 next season with a 6.96.
