Two quick adds here… first, if you haven’t seen “Fastball” as noted here multiple times, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s the best baseball documentary I’ve ever seen. Great video of WaJo talking pitching jib-jab to a ball boy. It’s old-timey gold.
And how about this for context? Walter Johnson has 110 career shutouts. Jacob Degrom has 84 career wins.
(Great thread - and yet somehow, we still find a grouchy grandpa on here yelling at the clouds for some unknown reason!)
