In 1968, Detroit's Denny McLain recorded 31 wins; the most by any player since 1950. McLain was the last pitcher to reach 30 wins in a season.
Since 1973, the highest single season batting average by a pitcher was in 1993 when Orel Hershiser hit .356 (26 for 73) for the Dodgers. I was not able to find a list of batting averages pre 1973 but I know there has to be one on the Web somewhere. I can tell you that in 1925, Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators batted .433 (42 for 97) and that is the best pitcher's batting average I have heard of. Red Ruffing was an excellent hitter and his highest BA was .364 (40 for 110) in 1930 for the Red Sox and Yankees. George Uhle batted .361 (52 for 144) for the Cleveland Indians in 1923. Curt Davis batted .381 (40 for 105) for the 1939 St Louis Cardinals.

Dutch Leonard of the 1914 Boston Red Sox had an ERA of 0.96 in 1914.
Ty Cobb with a .366 lifetime average. The single season leader is Hugh Duffy at .4397 in 1894.

Charley Radbourn holds the record for most wins by a pitcher in a single season with 59 in 1884. Jack Chesbro holds the record since 1901 with 41 in 1904.
In 1968, Detroit's Denny McLain recorded 31 wins; the most by any player since 1950. McLain was the last pitcher to reach 30 wins in a season.
