Greg Maddux's 4 Insane Cy Young Seasons
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2024
- In Greg Maddux's final season with the Cubs in 1992, he took home the Cy Young, and in his next three years with the Braves, he took home the Cy Young every year. Maddux had an insane walk rate while throwing limited pitches in many innings. Throwing less than 90 pitches in a complete game such as his 76-pitch complete game, so many times that he had a term named after him as he became the first to ever win four straight Cy Youngs.

Maddux and that pitching staff was only thing that could stop the 95’ Indians
Indians wouldn't have won regardless 🤷♂️
His two seamer that comes back to the plate on lefties is a thing of beauty
unhittable, I can turn on stuff as a leftie but that back door is evil.
I firmly believe Maddux's 94 and 95 seasons are top-3 since integration, and top-3 in the AL/NL since Walter Johnson. Yes, they were shortened, but he threw 202 and 209 innings -- and the only season I'd rank above these is Pedro Martinez's 2000 season where with no labor dispute he threw 217 innings. Maddux also had 25 and 28 starts, while Pedro had 29 -- across a full season! Which means Maddux was having to do all this on a whole lot less rest than pitchers nowadays are used to.
They certainly warrant consideration, as do some seasons for Marichal, Koufax, Martinez, and Gibson's '68. Also need to check a few others; e.g. Tom Seaver, Lincecum, Carlton, Ryan, Johnson, and Halladay.
Watching that pitching rotation dominate the NL for over a decade was truly something special. Every game the Braves had an ACE out on the mound. It was so tough to beat them in a best of 5 or 7 series, I feel so lucky to have witnessed that first hand.
Wrigley Field not having lights shouldn't be hard to believe. The Friendly Confines lacked lights not because it was somehow 50 years behind the times, but by very deliberate choice.
Like fans famously watching games from the rooftops across Waveland Avenue out beyond left field, and the field's ivy-covered outfield brick wall, Wrigley's status as the last Major League park without lights - hosting only afternoon games - was part of the lore of this stadium steeped in tradition, cherished by fans even outside Chicago.
From 1997-2000 Pedro Martinez was 77-25 with a 2.10 ERA, 1153 strikeouts and 3 Cy Young Awards plus 1 runner up finish. He would have had 4 straight Cy Young is Clemens was not on steroids. In Maddox’s 4 straight Cy Young seasons he was 75-29 with a 2.21 ERA and 737 strikeouts. This is not to downplay Maddox’s seasons as it was a great run but Pedro’s 4 consecutive season exceeded Maddox’s in every regard.
I enjoy these kinds of videos, but there are always inaccuracies. The Braves actually played in the NL West in those days(93), and won their division on the last day of the season in an NL where competition was severely thinned by expansion(the Giants won 103 games and missed the postseason).
Yup there was no central division until 1998 so braves were in NL west until than
What game and inning is shown at 13:43? I don't remember what happened to cause the ump to grab the batter
HELL, CY YOUNG DOESN'T HAVE 4 CY YOUNG AWARDS!
BUT STEVE CARLTON DOES
The award didn’t exist then.
@@ron88303 It's a meme joke. Of course he couldn't win an award that was named after him posthumously.
The Awards in Sports are named after their careers are over and sometimes when they are DEAD!!
@@jimnfl7134 Oh yeah?
Great job.
Braves won the NL West in 1993. Not the east
It would be killer if the Cubs still had all day games at home.
At 4:31 he says “his ERA never dropped below 3 again” when I think he meant to say it never rose above 3 again.
Greatness
Everybody at the end of this video: "Wait, what?" "Oh my."
OH YEA
Dante Bichette's 1.2 WAR in his 30/30 season is hilarious
defense is a thing
@@madxD144defense is overrated, Jeter has 5 titles
@@pwx13Did Jeter win the titles single-handed? Or did others help?
Randy Johnson was 18-16 one of the years he won the Cy Young. Come on. That was ridiculous.
Wins is a very overrated stat for pitchers… someone can give up 2 runs and still lose a game despite pitching for 10 plus Ks a game
@@jasonnesbittt Agreed.
Those gold gloves though
The gold gloves are little over-rated, if you read how their voted on. Not to say that they don't signify excellence in fielding, it's just that the voting was a bit inexact.
Hill I'm willing to die on. Greg Maddux was the greatest pitcher of all time
Greg has a great claim but randy and Pedro do as well. Clemens, ryan, etc. But maddux is in the discussion no matter what
Pedro, Randy, seaver, Bob Gibson, Clayton Kershaw, and Sandy koufax all have claims to be the greatest pitcher as well.
Agreed
@mastermace7770 yes but Greg did it without overpowering stuff.
@@codygurnick6405but he had a ton of movement and the umps gave him a larger strike zone
4:32.....it never dropped below 3.0 again. Um, you meant rose above, right? Words matter. Checking what you say matters. Editing matters.
Couldn’t pitch in today’s MLB with the in between innings’ checks of pitchers…was shitty in postseason cuz he followed the shine ballers’ oath of backing off in playoffs: definition of a “Jake”
Oh….@maddogvaselinesavedmycarreer 1:13
Edgar Martinez
He was a DH and thrid baseman.
