The most precise pitcher in baseball history — four consecutive Cy Young Awards, a career 3.16 ERA achieved through control and movement rather than velocity.
Greg Maddux is the most technically precise pitcher in baseball history. He won four consecutive Cy Young Awards (1992-95) — two with Chicago, two with Atlanta — and his career ERA of 3.16 was achieved without elite velocity, relying entirely on extraordinary movement, location and intelligence. He won 18 Gold Gloves at pitcher. His ability to paint corners at 87mph was described by hitters as the most frustrating challenge in the sport.
He won 18 Gold Gloves at pitcher — more than any other player at any position in baseball history.
