Answer
Wynn was able to improve his game under the tutelage of Mel Harder, a pitching coach with the Indians. He was able to get a better grip on the ball and throw more strikes, which led to a decrease in his ERA and an increase in his strikeouts. This helped him to become a more effective pitcher and he was able to lead the league in ERA in 1953.
