Roberts has a three-year stretch (1952-54) with equivalent records of 24-13, 26-12, and 25-13, with two very good years just before that.
Roberts certainly wasn't a good hitter (yeah, there was a 120 OPS+ one year but that was a fluke), but for a pitcher, he wasn't completely hopeless with a bat in his hand.
Roberts pulls ahead quite clearly by virtue of his peak which is more based (from the above) on IP than on being any more effective.
