The voting isn't final yet but a recently leaked in-progress tally has shown that Mexico City SP Dave Corfield is currently a unanimous selection to win the 2050 Nebraska Golden Arm Award.
Unanimous selections are pretty rare in the BBA voting environment. Everyone has their favorite stats and slightly different ways of rating players' performances plus, you need to throw in the requisite homer vote here and there as well. Even with all of these different hurdles though, it was hard to overlook the level to which Corfield excelled this season. He was 18 K's away from the pitching triple crown, trailing only Atlantic City's Carlos Flores in that category. He was almost 2 WAR ahead of the next best SP (9.3 to Flores' 7.4), he led the JL in Wins (24), ERA (2.06), Winning % (.889), Opponent's SLG (.297), and Opponent's OPS (.563). He was second in Innings Pitched (223.0, trailing teammate Michael Sullivan [224]), Ks (275, 18 behind Flores), K/9 (11.1, trailing Flores' 13.1), K/BB (5.7, trailing Jay Hodge's 16.1), Hits/9 (6.9, trailing Flores' 5.8), and Opponent's AVG (.214, trailing Flores' .184). Quite the impressive collection of stats.
Corfield's 2050 Nebraska will be his second, added to his 2047 win. He will have won 2 Nebraskas before his 26th birthday. This will be the 5th time a pitcher from the Barnstormers/Aztecs franchise will have won the award, following Jay Lee in 2004, Enrique Gomez in 2026 and 2028, and Corfield in 2047.

I'll never believe how he fell to #7 in the draft. What a pick!

Re: 2050.5: Corfield to win Second Nebraska
I missed out on all the 'Super Drafts' somehow. Must have cashed in all my equity in one go with Corfield. I'll take it.
