Winner Winner

The most wins in a single season is shared between two Angels who did it within five years of each other. The record is 22 wins and it was done by Clyde Wright in 1970 and then Nolan Ryan in 1974.
At the time, Clyde was only the second Angel next to Dean Chance to reach 20 wins. Unlike Nolan Ryan, Clyde Wright was no Hall of Fame pitcher. In the previous 1969 season, Wright went 1-8 with a 4.10 ERA. After Fregosi would get him to play around with a screwball during the offseason, Wright came back in 1970 with a career low ERA of 2.83 with his 22 wins, along with a no-hitter against the Oakland A's on July 3rd. He would win the American League comeback player of the year award. Wright would have two more solid years with the Angels. He would finish with a career record of 100-111.

Nolan Ryan also threw a no-hitter in his 22 win season. The only difference is it was his third of his career. Ryan also had two games of 19 strikeouts. His dominance was in full effect as he struck out 367 in 332.2 innings and going the distance in 26 of his 41 starts. However, the Angels would finish 68-94.
