I also remember him dominating the Dodgers in Game 6 of that year's NLCS. Two hits and no walks allowed in 7+ innings of the pennant clincher. By erasing all three of the runners they allowed through one pickoff and two double plays, Hendricks and Chapman faced the minimum 27 batters in that game.
He would have suffered a lot in the more accurate modern era, even more so if Robo Umps are instituted. He got a LOT of calls a few inches off the plate, usually on the outside corner.
One thing I didn't hear (or missed) in this video is the fact that edge kings tend to induce weak contact. We've seen the meme that Greg Maddux was invited to paint the Hall Of Fame, but he only painted the corners. Greg changed his middle name to 'Weak Contact' in 1992 when he changed his first name to Cy. He's the edge GOAT. Excellent video, BTW. Made me sub.
I appreciate the continuity between the thumbnail of the Patrick Bailey video and this one. For Bailey it was a Cubs lefty against a Giants righty and vice versa here. Also the pitcher being the away team. Idk if it was intentional but I think that's fun nice job :)
Edge Kings like Kyle Hendricks and Martin Pérez are low key umpire nightmares. Their pinpoint pitches rack up blown calls, trashing umpire stats and possibly costing them bonuses. Guess who’s not getting a Christmas card from the umps this year?
Anyone ready for Robot umps? Technology can show us exactly where ball travels, spin rate, velocity and exit velocity. Yet we still rely on 40ish man stand behind catcher wearing a mask to accurately call the 100 mph moving ball a strike or ball. Robot umps please. R2D2 or C3P0
Can we get another season or two of another “edgelord,” Zack Greinke? I love these guys that walk a tightrope and get calls on 87mph fastballs on the edge.

If Kyle Henricks is an edge king does that make Tyler Glasgow a goon king??
Yes
Did you see Glasnow in Korea?
No it makes him a peaky fooking blinder
"Edge Kings" when they could have been called "Shadow Kings"

My neighbor in high school, Tammy is the greatest edge lord I've ever seen
This might be the best baseball video ever produced
As a fellow Nebraskan, I can concur
Greg Maddox is the greatest edge lord in history lol!

@@BrianKoontz2 Exactly why robots are a terrible idea. He fooled people.
You might as well play a video game.
