Finding the most average pitcher of all-time 

The Chad Innings Eater made $80M. Love it

Can confirm, I absolutely said "Oh yeah, I had that guy on my fantasy team for a while"

Grand total of 27 non-major league innings as a professional, dude was just ready to be absolutely average in the show right out of college, which is extremely impressive

Yes, I remember when I had Peek-a-boo Veech on my fantasy team back in the day. Won me a handful of dough!

If Mike Leake doesn’t have an updated nickname list that includes “Ruler of Routineville” - we riot

If you keep going with this, I'd love to see you put together a team of the most average players - I wonder how they would fair! Maybe better than average? Or if you really want to drive yourself insane, I'd love to see a team with the most average season of all time!

You’ve got some awesome stuff. One of my favorite baseball follows. Keep it up

Videos and channels like this are helping me get back into baseball. Great stuff mna

Another unskippable vid for a stat dweeb like me :D Great work as usual!

I love this series

He went straight to the Majors…nothing average about that!

Nothing average about this series, good stuff man

Anyone else checking back in for that Peek-a-boo Veach video?

Leake actually has one of the craziest above-average achievements of all time among any Major Leaguer, although it has nothing to do with his performance on an MLB field. He was drafted 8th overall in 2009, immediately made the major league team, and never looked back. He pitched 7.1 innings in the minors his entire career. Pretty astonishing

Awesome video. This guy is the King of Commonplace!

Availability! I love that saying at the end there

Being in the middle of all the pitchers in all of pro ball is pretty damn good!

Let's pour a glass of tepid water and drink a toast to Mr. Average.

Being average among the elite club of people known as MLB pitchers is an incredible feat. You are better than 50% of the very best in the world. Doing that for one year is a remarkable achievement. Doing it consistently, reliably, year in and year out, for a decade, is tremendous. What makes many of the best teams so good is not just the performance of their stars, but the abundance of average players in place of below average. If some of the worst players on your team is average, your team is great. And they could not be so without some reliable and consistent performers like Mike Leake. They may not be the biggest names making the biggest bucks, but they are very valuable assets nonetheless.

Keep it up with the uploads man! I hope you keep gathering a following cause I eat this type of content up!

My mind when right to Mike Leake with the Dusty Baker w/Reds thumbnail

FYI Mike Leake never pitched in the minor leagues. He also was the Reds ace pitcher for like 5 years.

Oopsie you said OPS+ by accident at 2:30 Otherwise great vid, keep it up!

Randy wolf and Matt Garza were the first guys I thought of for this. Now just need the most average manager

My guess is Jamie Moyer

looking at ur list. mike leak popped out at me at 3:00 mark. im like if i had to choose he is my man. 10 seconds later i was right lol

Damn, my guess going in was Bronson Arroyo, even though there's nothing average about that leg kick. Right team wrong guy

definitely one of the pitchers of all time!

2:13 is that the wife-trading guy?

The first player who comes to mind, is Kyle Hendricks

Here before 100k subs

Leake was a great hitter though

Jamie Moyer!

If you think his WHIP keeps him from being average, you don't know about Fritz Peterson.

You call Mike Leake an outlier? I'd say for the purposes of this video he's the most INlier a person could ever be.
