That would depend on when one believes the 'modern era' of MLB began. For this answer, we will take Baseball Almanac's year of 1977 as the beginning of the 'modern era'. Since 1977, the most wins in a season by a pitcher is 27 by Bob Welch of the Oakland Athletics in 1990.
Starting at 1920, that is Jim Bagby of the Cleveland Indians in 1920, Lefty Grove of the Philadelphia Athletics in 1931, and Denny McLain of the Detroit Tigers in 1968 with 31.
