I know that pitching is a big part of the game, even someone not that involved with softball and/or baseball know that but how come pitchers are always player of the years and get all the awards and exposure more than hitters. Atleast in baseball people worship home run hitters (but not the guys with the best on base percentages who contribute to scoring when a homerun is hit) It seems like you have to be either a big home run hitter or a pitcher with an ERA very close to zero. Why are the other people getting put behind the scenes?
