I Stumbled Across Some Greg Maddux Statistics...

Greg Maddux, one of the most accurate and dominant pitchers in baseball history, boasts an assortment of absurd statistics that showcase his legacy on the mound. With a career spanning 23 seasons, he accumulated an astonishing 355 wins, placing him eighth on the all-time list. Furthermore, his win percentage of .610 is truly remarkable considering the longevity of his career and the sheer number of starts he made (740). Maddux's ability to paint the corners was unparalleled, as evidenced by his career 999 walks issued, an average of just 1.80 per nine innings pitched. Over his career, Maddux faced a total of 20,421 batters, of those only 133 ever saw a 3-0 count against him further demonstrating his accuracy and effectiveness. Equally impressive is his microscopic career WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched) of 1.143. Adding to his legacy, Maddux won four consecutive Cy Young Awards from 1992-1995, a feat that reveals his incredible consistency and dominance over an extended period. Additionally, over this four season period, Maddux pitched more complete games (37) than homers allowed (33). His regular season ERA of 3.16 is more impressive when considering that he exceeded 200 innings pitched 18 times. Greg Maddux's statistical accomplishments truly epitomize his remarkable career and cement his status as one of the all-time greats.

    Aside from tutoring, I feel there is large importance in helping students understand the possibilities of numbers within sports. Numbers can tell a complete story relative to individual games, athletes, matchups, seasons, and more. Additionally, this blog can be extremely informative to anyone, even parents of tutored students, to learn more about the vast world of sports.
