Notable Achievements
* 10-time All-Star (1990, 1993-95, 1997, 1999, 2000-02, 2004)
* World Series MVP Award (with Curt Schilling, 2001) with Arizona Diamondbacks
* American League Cy Young Award winner (1995)
* National League Cy Young Award winner (1999, 2000-02)
* Finished 6th in American League MVP voting (1995)
* In 2001, he became the first pitcher to record 3 wins in a single World Series since Mickey Lolich, and the 13th overall
* Finished 7th in National League MVP voting (2002)
* Led the league in ERA four times (1995, 1999, 2001, 2002)
* Led the league in wins (2002)
* Led the league in Strikeouts (1992-95, 1999, 2000-02, 2004)
* Is one of four pitchers to win the Cy Young for both the American and National League (Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens, & Gaylord Perry being the others).
* Won Triple Crown (led league in wins, ERA and strikeouts) (2002)
* On August 23, 2002, struck out 3 batters on 9 pitches in the 6th inning of a 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. Became the 21st National League pitcher and the 30th pitcher in Major League history to accomplish the nine-strike/three-strikeout half-inning.
* Struck out 19 batters in a game (June 24, 1997 against Oakland Athletics; August 8, 1997 against Chicago White Sox)
* Struck out 20 batters in a game on May 8, 2001 against Cincinnati Reds; Johnson recorded all 20 strikeouts in the first nine innings, but because the game went into extra innings, it was not categorized by MLB as an "official" 20-strikeout game (Tom Cheney's 16-inning, 21-strikeout game is also listed separately). Baseball has since reversed itself on the game, and now lists Johnson with Roger Clemens and Kerry Wood as 20-K pitchers.
* 4,591 career strikeouts (3rd overall)
* 10.86 strikeouts per 9 innings over career (1st overall)
* Career 280-147 record
* Threw no-hitter: June 2, 1990 (Seattle Mariners 2, Detroit Tigers 0)
* Threw perfect game: May 18, 2004 (Arizona Diamondbacks 2, Atlanta Braves 0) and became the oldest player to accomplish it, at age 40.
* In 2005, The Sporting News published an update of their 1999 book Baseball's 100 Greatest Players. Johnson did not make the original edition, but for the 2005 update, with his career totals considerably higher and his 2001 World Championship season taken into account, he was ranked at Number 60.
* Holds an MLB record with 5 consecutive 300-strikeout seasons (1998-2002)
* Diamondback Franchise Single Season Strikeout Record holder with 372 in 2001. This is also a top record of the new millenium turn. He also holds the Diamondback Franchise Record for Single Season Wins with 24 in 2002.

Why not, we can just say you nominated randomhero423's nomination since he didn't have one.
