Tony AndreaTo me, a stat that jumps out about Maddux that no one even comes close to on is base on balls.
Here are career base on ball stats for pitchers I have had the pleasure to see pitch in my lifetime.
Randy Johnson - 21 yrs - career 1426 BB
Roger Clemens - 24 yrs - career 1580 BB
Tom Seaver - 20 yrs - career 1390 BB
Nolan Ryan - 27 yrs - career 2795 BB
Tom Glavine - 22 yrs - career 1469 BB
Steve Carlton - 24 yrs - career 1833 BB
Greg Maddux - 23 yrs - carrer 972 BB
The mans control and command of the mound in todays juiced ball and steriod era
are unmatched. I believe another board member stated, "if he were to of pitched 50+
years ago he might have 450+ wins". I agree. The guy is phenomenal.
