At the moment’s e-newsletter goes to be gentle on textual content — and heavy on lists.

Right here’s the explanation: I’ve accrued all kinds of statistics from the primary sixty-one seasons of baseball’s Fashionable Period (1961-2021). A few of these numbers have been cited in tales I’ve written in regards to the period’s finest (and worst) performances, however most have gone unused. You may say they’ve remained in my statistical cooler.

I’ve determined that immediately — my first entry for a brand new month — is an effective time to thaw out a few of these stats. So I’m presenting a sequence of 10 lists for pitchers.

Every of the primary six lists focuses on the ten finest profession performances in a specific class: wins, earned-run common, full video games, shutouts, innings pitched, and strikeouts. The ultimate 4 lists present the ten unlucky leaders in a sequence of unfavourable statistics: walks, residence runs allowed, hit batsmen, and wild pitches.

Every pitcher’s title is adopted by his big-league span in parentheses. Remember that these rankings are confined to the Fashionable Period. If a pitcher was lively in 1960 or prior seasons — as an illustration, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, or Bob Gibson — solely his stats from 1961 to the current are proven beneath.
