SOMETHING WAS AMISS DURING THE 2002 season for Roy Halladay, although there was no statistical evidence to suggest it.

The victories were mounting. Halladay was beginning to realize his vast potential. He was establishing himself as the ace of the Toronto Blue Jays rotation and one of the better young pitchers in the major leagues.

While building on his success in the second half of 2001, Halladay was putting his past misfortunes far behind him. He was following a steadily upward course that would lead to a 19-7 record and 2.93 earned run average and put him among the American League leaders in most pitching categories at the end of the season.
