1995 Greg Maddux Was on Another Level...

- Greg Maddux had a Hall of Fame career in which he won 4 Cy Young Awards, won the ERA title 4 times, and won 18 gold gloves, the most of any player in baseball history. In his 23 year career, Maddux was a finesse pitcher who had immense control. He reached new heights in 1995, and put up a historically great season. His 1.63 ERA is 2nd only to Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA from the 1968 season (which forced MLB to lower the mound to increase offense). Maddux accomplished many great things that season, but there's one thing in particular that was missing... (watch to find out what that is).

I'm a lifelong Dodger fan of 50+ years but Maddux is my all time favorite pitcher ( thanks TBS ).
All this greatness and he still never struck out my boy Tony Gwynn
Greg Maddux started a painting company, but it folded because he only painted corners.
I also heard that he’s never been able to brush it off since.
I never knew that! I figured after he retired he would just vacation and travel a lot.
This is just one of the many reasons why he’s my GOAT at the pitching position. I just love how surgically he dissected batters with his baseball IQ and otherworldly command. The professor indeed.
Favorite Player of all time! always will be
One correction: Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA in 1968 is NOT the only qualifying live-ball ERA lower than Maddux's in 1995. Dwight Gooden posted a 1.53 ERA in 276.2 innings in 1985.
On Maddux's struggles against the Rockies in the 1995 NLDS: He started one game in [pre-humidor] Coors Field, which was even more friendly to hitters than it is today, and that was his BETTER start in the series--he allowed 3 runs in 7 innings for a quality start.
Good catch! Somehow missed that one.
I mean take “struggles” for Greg Maddux with a grain of salt but I get what you’re saying. His struggles is still a quality start haha
I followed him his entire career and believed in his prowess in his early days with Cubs. He matured gracefully and admirely...I don't think we'll see another 300 game winner.( signed, a Cleveland Indians fan...sigh)
Greg Maddux opened up his own family themed amusement park. His family doesn't like him though, because he doesn't give out free passes.
Imagine a world where the best pitchers aren't all paid to go to the same team.
If John Lennon was a baseball fan, I’m sure he’d have imagined it too!
@@Cam23 Maybe Weird Al could make a parody. "Imagine all the players.... Playing like they love their team.... YooHoo... You might say I'm a purist... "

I pitch to make outs..
really cool video, would you consider doing one on Phil Niekro's 1978, 10WAR season?
Absolutely, thanks for the suggestion!
Hey just to give you a heads up, you might wanna tune into the video coming out this Friday… may or may not be about Niekro… 👀
Yo Cam you ever thought about doing Orioles game recaps again some day?
I might have to start doing that!
Greg could have had 400 wins. So many games his offense took the night off, assuming he'd pitch a shutout.
Teacher maddux
I feel like Greg Maddux needed a big neck tattoo
I can see it! What design would it be though? 🤔
@@Cam23 Definitely something in cursive. Probably like, "SINKIN'" or "CAUGHT LOOKING"
@@UA-camHandlesAreStupid caught looking would be 🔥 his two seam running in on lefties comes to mind immediately thinking about that
@@Cam23 Unfortunately, you and I are the only ones who will see this dialogue.
@@UA-camHandlesAreStupid hey ya never know. Screenshot it and @ Greg Maddux 😂
I remember the offseason before the 1991 season i was telling everyone how the Braves were gonna be good. This was before they had Maddux of course but they had rookie Avery plus Smoltz and Glavine
I was 12 and this was in Southwestern Ohio and most people around here at least didnt believe me cuz the Braves had sucked for so long
You got something wrong in video the braves went to the WS in 91 and 92 not 93 that year the Philadelphia Phillies went and lost to Blue Jays
Yeah it should’ve been 1992, misspoke. Script I wrote 1992 but said ‘93
One thing you have to mention, he had the biggest strike zone of any pitcher of his time! He constantly got strikes that were 3 to 6 in outside and 3 in inside. You look back on the reruns and you'll see that he was a great player but his numbers were really puffed up because of the strike zone he got.
