Top 10 Pitchers in MLB History 

Wtf? Kershaw is on this list but not Nolan Ryan?

Where's nolan ryan

WHAT ABOUT NOLAN RYAN AND CY YOUNG

Cy Young, Nolan Ryan, Bob Feller, Tom Seaver, Sandy Koufax?

I cant fault you putting Mariano Rivera up there, i personally wouldnt have put him in my top ten because i value starters more but I will admit the argument for Rivera is solid. He was head and shoulders above everyone else at his position for so long and his postseason numbers are absolutely staggering. But how could you leave Nolan Ryan off this list? He should be top 5!

Gotta love baseball. All great picks, but Nolan should be there!

Warren Spahn, my boyhood pitching hero.

Nolan Ryan for sure is on my top 10. And don’t forget about Cy Young. To legends that deserve respect

ERA+ or more pitching statistics comparing the pitchers to the pitchers of their seasons would be nice

Strange not to see Cy Young or Lefty Grove on such a list.

Ok, when Randy Johnson came on at three, I was like, "okay so that leaves Nolan Ryan and who else for the last two. How in the world do you leave Nolan ryan off of this list?

Grover Cleveland Alexander obviously is one of the top 10. He broke into the majors with a 28 win rookie season, and had 3 consecutive seasons with 30+ wins. Any modern pitcher who sets up batters with fastballs and then strikes them out with a sneaky slider owe Alexander a debt of gratitude.

The steroid age was not a “dark age” for the MLB. It was some of the most entertaining TV I’ve ever seen

Lists without Koufax don't get taken seriously.

Respectable list and great editing! I was just looking for a video to remind me of the best pitchers and this was perfect. Have a great day everyone 😊

Bob Gibson should at least be number three because they had to change the rules for that man

Ummm Nolan Ryan, Cy, Koufax, and Bob Feller. I don’t know about this list.

Needs to be a top 25 to include Cy Young, Bob Feller, Sandy Koufax, Steve Carlton, Juan Marichal, Ferguson Jenkins, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver and though I hate to say it Roger Clemmons and Warren Spahn, Gaylord Perry, Phil Neikro, Tom Glavine and many others!

No Nolan Ryan.i thought he would be #1 for sure

Warren Spahn ,Cy Young

If not for World War II, Bob Feller would have lapped some of these. Missed basically 4 full seasons. Averaged 26 wins in the 3 years before the war. Won 26 his first full year after. So, if Feller wins 370 games, where does he fit on this list?

Grove and Feller and Koufax, and possibly Spahn and Alexander should be top ten. Grove, in era context, could be the very best.

I always think there should be two separate lists. Pitchers from modern baseball, and pitchers before that. It's impossible to compare someone like Walter Johnson for example to Randy Johnson. Era's are so different. Mechanics are different, literally everything. If Walter Johnson pitched in the modern era, his numbers would not look like they did then. Not suggesting he wasn't great, it's just the game has evolve is all. For example, many don't know this. Walter Johnson, known as a great fastball pitcher. Probably only threw high 80s, maybe early 90s tops. His fastball was clocked in the 80s... You put that in the modern era, he'd get killed. Now, I realize those whacky pitching delivers back then were not good... And he'd probably have completely different pitching mechanics if he pitched today. Another thing this is he pitched in the dead ball era, where the offense just doesn't compared to modern baseball. Just saying the eras are different. You can't look at his numbers, and say 'goat'. That's why each era you can't compare. And they should be separated. This is not being disrespectful to Walter Johnson. He obviously was magnificent in his era, and should be celebrated for it. I just don't think it necessarily makes him the goat. And it's impossible to compare it to pitchers from the modern baseball era. Just my two cents. Modern day pitchers for me it's. Maddux, Pedo, Randy Johnson, Koufax, Bob Gibson, Roger Clemens, Nolan Ryan, Mariano Rivera (I just can't put a relief pitcher higher than the guys on the list - but yeah, he was amazing), Tom Seager, Kershaw (I figure I'd throw someone from today's era so I'm not hating, but a lot of guys could replace him easily).

My Top 12 1. Walter Johnson 2. Christy Mathewson 3. Grover Alexander 4. Cy Young 5. Tom Seaver 6. Randy Johnson 7. Greg Maddox 8. Warren Spahn 9. Lefty Grove 10. Pedro Martinez 11. Bob Gibson 12. Steve Carleton or Bob Feller. I go back and forth with this one. Not putting any steroids user on my list. No Clemens. Kershaw is still active. He will make my list when he stops playing. No Koufax. Too many not great years. Amazing 5 years but this was during a dead ball era and his mound was excessively high.

I completely agree with this list..💯

Nolan Ryan doesn’t exist?

A list like this that does not include Nolan Ryan is RIDICULOUS!

I'd take Koufax.

WHERE IN THE HOLY HELL IS NOLAN RYAN? THE FUCK?????

No Nolan!!! No Satchel??

1. Nice try though; nice video. But oh, come on now. Nolan was the guy that Burgess Meredith screamed at Rocky not to fight. #1 most frightening pitcher any batter *ever* faced. Like stopping Gretzky. Facing Tyson. Guarding Wilt. You totally whiffed. Nolan far, by far #1 all time. 2. Babe Ruth was probably better than Nolan. The only reason he didn't go 140-0 was the games he drank the night before. JMO ! Bonus. I would rather face several of those than Koufax. I'd rather face prime Gibson than Koufax. And Cy Young is not top 10?

Can anyone explain why Nolan isn't on the list?

I agree about Walter Johnson, but. Nolan Ryan and Koufax should be on this list. Koufax had 4 no hitters in 4 consecutive seasons.

Nolan Ryan should have been number 1; he holds 2 records that will never be broken total strikeouts, and most no hitters!!! He had over 300 wins, and if he would have played for better teams I believe he could have been nearer 400 wins!!! He even got better as his career went on, his longevity and strength as a pitcher was off the charts!!! He had something like 18 one hitters, and about as many 2 hitters!!!

The issue is who would you give the ball to in game 7 of ws? Koufax, Gibson, ...

Did I miss something? Sandy Koufax was a pretty fair pitcher.

1. Seaver 2. Spahn 3. Grove 4. Maddux 5. Ford

there i fixed the list guys dont worry #1 Sandy Koufax #2 Pedro Martinez #3 Greg Maddox #4 Nolan Ryan #5 Roger Clemons #6 Randy Johnson #7 Walter Johnson #8 Cy Young #9 Mariano #10 Roki Sasaki

Where are Lefty Grove, Sandy Koufax, Steve Carlton, and Jim Palmer?

Nolan Ryan??? Cy Young??? Hello ???

Also how Walter Johnson he’s probably like 9th of all time

Where are Cy Young, Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax?

I would have Maddux at 4

Bro Nolan is the greatest pitcher ever to play mlb. An he never won a cy young.

No Nolan Ryan?

hmmmm, not bad.......but where is Cy Young???? Why is that the prestigious award, but he's not included?

2:20 that was just filthy

It's hard to make a top 10 list because there's been SO many spectacular pitchers. A lot of people have been commenting about Nolan Ryan, I'd add Sandy Koufax and Cy Young as almost certainly making my top 10. Bob Feller and Satchel Paige, plus *controversially* Roger Clemons are good additions too

What does Nolan Ryan have to do to get any respect?

Cool. Pedro made #6. The thing about the top 10 is that any of these guys can make a top 3 argument. Blown away by this group.

Roids should be mandatory so us fans get the best possible product.

No Koufax?

I feel you're missing some of the best. Like Cy Young and Koufax. Also Pedro Martinez should be a bit higher, maybe not #1 but he hold the best season ever by era+ and did it during Barry Bonds' peak years

And Cy Young?

Where are Koufax and Seaver?

Clayton Chokeshaw

No Lefty Grove or Tom Seaver is absolutely crazy.

Cy Young, Lefty Grove and Kid Nichols should be on that list.. Check the stats.. Sandy Koufax no slouch either.. Satchel Paige..? I'd take Verlander over Kershaw too for honorable mention.. I mean the reality is, Eddie Feigner would put all these guys in the dust doing it with bigger balls and only four guys.. haha At least you got Walter Johnson right and the other guys are all good too tho some debate about top ten..

Kershaw No chokes BG

Solid picks, but no Nolan Ryan???? Hmmmm

yeah I think may have forgot about Nolan

How could you leave out Nolan Ryan??? Best pitcher ever!!! How about Koufax???

I would have found a spot for the chairman of the board

No Sandy Koufax!? Are you high?

I love Randy Johnson

Yes to all but Ryan, Perry, Niekro and Glavine

Cy Young missing from this list makes no sense... I would almost, almost, put Nolan Ryan over Clemens, but I'm bias since I'm a Yankee fan.

Without Nolan Ryan?

How do you not have Koufax on here???

Mariano Rivera blew the Yankees ' chance to sweep my beloved Red Sox. He walked Kevin Millar, who almost never walked. It was nothing new as the Red Sox had Rivera's number for quite some time back then.

Kofax the goat for sure??

Wheres Nolan Ryan bro?

You got to be kidding me, no Nolan Ryan!?

If ryan played on a team that could get him runs, he is the list.

Rivera was nasty.

I see some people disagreeing with the video, kinda new to baseball more of a basketball fan, can someone explain why Nolan Ryan being left off the list is controversial?

Where is Nolan Ryan with his 8 no hitters. There is also Tom Seaver and the man who started for Cy Young award Cy Young

No Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax? WHAT ABOUT SATCHEL PAIGE???

Htf are you not going to put Jacob deGrom on the list?

Maddox is the reason we have a strike zone box in today's game .

Koufax was the Beatles of MLB pitching!!!

How, just how, do you keep Koufax off this list?

Nolan Ryan? Tom Seaver? What about them?

Scherzer should be up here

And Sandy Koufax?

No Verlander?

A top ten without Koufax or Ryan is a sin .

No Koufax? No Nolan Ryan? Are you kidding?

Nolan Ryan Doc Gooden Your crazy.

What is a WHIP please?

Kershaw but no Warren Spahn, Sandy Koufax, or Nolan Ryan???

I’ve got one question: WTF is your criteria for picking this list?

The guys on this list are all right just they’re all in the wrong spots. Mariano Rivera might not get into the top ten, #2 is absolutely insane. Pedro Martinez is easily top 3 all time and Greg Maddux is top 5. Walter Johnson deserves a mention and possibly top ten, but not top five. Overall this is a decent list needs some work tho

Where is Nolan Ryan?

Jeremy Bonderman?

No Cy Young?

Steve carlton? As well??????? Warren spahn?

And my 10th pick is Fernando Valenzuela

Koufax and Ryan?

Wheres Steve Carlton, Bob feller, Nolan Ryan, I would put verlander or sherzer here before kershaw what a joke of a list 😂
