the core of the team's success in the 1960s was the dominant pitching tandem of sandy koufax and don drysdale, who combined to win 4 of the 5 cy young awards from 1962 to 1966, during a time in which only one award was given to the top pitcher from either of the two major leagues. top pitching also came from claude osteen, an aging johnny podres, and reliever ron perranoski. the hitting attack, on the other hand, was not impressive, and much of the offensive spark came from the exploits of speedy shortstop maury wills, who led the league in stolen bases every year from 1960 to 1965, and set a modern record with 104 thefts in 1962. the dodgers' strategy was once described as follows: ""wills hits a single, steals second, and takes third on a grounder. a sacrifice fly brings him home. koufax or drysdale pitches a shutout, and the dodgers win 1–0."" although few games followed this model exactly, the dodgers nevertheless tallied a high proportion of wins in a low-scoring manner that relied on their pitching and defense rather than their offense – with the exception of a few seasons. for example, in 1962, tommy davis led the major leagues with 153 rbi, and he led the national league in batting average and in hits. seasons of over 150 rbi are quite rare by a player in modern-day pro baseball. davis led the league in batting twice for the dodgers.
