Name the pitcher and the single year. He's won in each of the following categories:

ERA, Wins, W-L%, (BB + H)/9IP, Most Strikeouts/9IP, Fewest BB/9IP, Hits Allowed/9IP.

The bonus questions are which award (one (1)) did that pitcher attain, and what other "first" was won, both in that same year?

Big Train, 1913?

And he won whatever they called the MVP award back then.

Let me try breaking it down, Steve. The pitcher was best in the following categories for a single year:

Lowest ERA
Most Wins
Greatest W-L%
Lowest (BB + H)/9IP
Fewest Hits Allowed/9IP
Fewest BB/9IP
Most Strikeouts/9IP
Complete Games (I just found this one)
Shutouts (I just found this one also)

The bonus questions were:

Which award given to a ballplayer was attained by that same pitcher in that year?

What other "first" did that pitcher win in that year?

I excluded that other "first" since it may lead to the pitcher too easily. Is that more understandable, Steve?
