This dude was filthy. Being from Georgia and a Braves fan during his time in Atlanta, I got to watch him quite a bit.

When I worked for the Cubs, I met Maddux. He was in the visiting clubhouse in the cold tub fully clothed smoking a cigar and having a beer BEFORE the game. What a great dude.

He sets for defense EVERY. SINGLE. PITCH. Thats why hes a multiple golden glove pitcher. My favorite of all time.

The 90s Braves had such a powerhouse pitching staff. Maddux was certainly one to be proud of! Miss those days. Damn I'm old 😆

He seems so frustrating to hit against. The movement on his pitches was special. Not only a great pitcher but he was probably the best fielding pitcher I’ve ever seen.

The most amazing thing about Maddux, he destroyed major league hitters for 20 yrs throwing 89-90 mph.

I can watch this man pitch all day....Legend !

Helluva defensive player! 18 golden gloves! Instead of falling off the mound as many fastball pitchers do, he squared up ready to snag a hit! Awesome!

That 2 seamer to the lefties hip is just lethal. It’s untouchable

Favorite pitcher for me. The control, guile, and mind are what made him so special. Among many other things.

A real definition of pitcher!! THE BEST pitcher in my opinion.

It’s like he was throwing a wiffle ball. The movement in on right handed batters is incredible. Got to watch him his whole career. The best I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

ive never watched a game but ive been watching pitchers in yt for a while one, and this guy is the most "elegant" so far, id say it feels like talent, efficient movement

Greg Maddux has so much control with the ball, it’s like he’s throwing a wiggle ball out there. We will never see a pitcher who can twirl, twist, drop, curve, and just move the ball like him.

The movement on his pitches are crazy

I love his fielding.

Maddux was always fun to watch pitch! He didn't have to throw blazing fastballs! His movement and command of his pitches were great! His stuff was nasty!

To say he caught mark grace looking is just an honor

78 pitch complete game 🤯. Most pitchers, nowadays, have 78 pitches with 1 out in the 4th.

78 pitches and only 15 balls in a one hit complete game shutout is absurd. I don’t know if I’ll ever see that again in my lifetime.

Japanese baseball talks about finding 100-mile-per-hour pitchers, but power pitchers are prone to injury because of their heavy load. Maddux laid the foundation for modern baseball with a pitching style that eschewed showiness and focused on long seasons and long years. I think it has real value.

History will be good to Maddux

It's interesting to see how in his Cubs and early Atl days, Maddux was a sidearm pitcher, and then through the years he migrated to 3/4s delivery and occasionally (for his sinker) a straight up overhead delivery. Most noticeable during his Padres and Dodgers stints but also in later-ATL highlights.

見ていて飽きない芸術的なピッチングですね😊 若い頃に日本に日米野球で来たこともあります😊

Not only was he a great pitcher, but he had the middle of the infield covered. No need for a shift. He was just as good as the SS

I got to watch a lot pitchers in the 80's and 90S some in the 70's like Seaver and others. With Maddux his arm angle never changed. So in saying that, to me, and this is just my opinion, he had more movement on his pitches than any other pitcher that I can remember? His fastball, change up and curve all looked the same and good luck on guessing what was coming. He fielded his position better than any pitcher I've ever seen pitch live too. He was not only a great pitcher, but a very smart one as well.

grew up watching maddux and by far the best pitcher i've ever witnessed!! he could do it all, none better imo. watched the braves from 92-13 so i guess i'm a little bias.

Greg Maddox was the 21st century version of Christy Mathewson

I’m a Reds fan but he was the greatest pitcher I’ve ever seen

Watch how enthusiastic the umps are ringing the batters up, even they're into Maddux's performance.

3:34 that pitch is straight disgusting and disrespectful 😤🔥🔥

メジャーの歴史上で頭のいい投手だと思います。投手=球速以外にコントロールの大切さを彼から学べた。 ツーシームのバックドアとサークルチェンジが決まった時は圧巻。打たせて取るのが彼のスタイルだが、3371の奪三振はビックリした。

Drunk Harry: “Greg Matthews” 😂🤣🤣

i came here because i just cleaned his yard today im impressed 😮🙏👍

Crazy movement. Pitchers today need to take note. It don't matter if you throw 100 MPH. If you don't have good movement you're going to eventually get hammered!

Taking about a damn stud Greg Maddox and Nolan Ryan best pitchers baseball ever seen
