How to use it
Pick two pitchers and the award unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Clemens against Kershaw to feel the 4 award gap. Award counts read straight since only one unit exists.
Counts follow Baseball Reference multiple winners tables with MLB corroboration. Clemens at 7 splits into six AL and one NL award. Johnson at 5 splits into one AL and four NL awards. Martinez at 3 splits into one NL and two AL awards. League splits started in 1967, so earlier single awards still count one each. Reliever wins stay in the same table where voted.
