Pedro in his Prime is without question the Greatest Pitcher I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch

@anthonymaldonado8874 3 года назад

Clayton Kershaw in his prime is the greatest pitcher to ever live. 12 out of His 13 Seasons he has been a Top 10 Pitcher in the League. Last year was the first time where he didn’t have an ERA under 3.00 during the course of a regular season. He had a 3.03 😂😂 his stats are next level lmao he is 32 years old with 2,333 innings under his belt and is still pitching like a Top 10 Pitcher. Back injuries is the only thing stopping him from winning more cy young awards due to not being able to pitch enough innings.

@anthonymaldonado8874 3 года назад

@@drzcalderon3921 for the DH point you tried to make Kershaw is 20-5 2.17 ERA 300ks in 270 innings against American League teams. He is literally the American League killer. The DH would make no difference for Kershaw. Obviously for the PED era yes that would have made a difference but not that much for Kershaw. He produces weak contact all the time because of his accuracy, Movement and Deception. His career ERA is 2.43 I highly doubt it would have jumped over 3.00 if he had pitched in the Steroid ERA.

It was a joy watching pedro pitch. It didn't matter if it was April, July or October vs the Yankees, a's or royals, they all felt like a big deal bc that's how great he was. I've never seen anyone pitch the way he did in his prime in Boston. I hardly watch the game anymore bc it's just brutal but when I was growing up I watched every single game. I'm 38 now, easily the best pitcher I've ever seen.

@KemperFi13 3 года назад

My buddy played 11 years in the MLB and told me Pedro was so difficult because every ball seemed hittable but then the ball broke late and hard so you rarely got the sweet spot of the bat on it. You we’re pretty much out there guessing which way it was going to break in addition to how much it was going to break.

It's quite difficult to say. I still like Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, Hank Aaron, Ty Cobb, Willie Mays as better ballplayers than Griffey Jr. But I wouldn't put Griffey Jr. all that far behind them. I would put him ahead of other hall of famers such as Willie McCovey and Roberto Clemente. If he didn't have a significant drop off after 2000, maybe I could put him on that list.

In that game (August 15, 2002), Griffey struck out in both his at bats against Johnson. Interestingly, Griffey only had 5 plate appearances against Pedro Martinez in his career, going 1 for 3 with 2 walks and 1 strikeout. Most surprising of all, Griffey did indeed face Justin Verlander later in his career. Even more surprising, he faced him more times than he faced Pedro and Randy Johnson combined.
