Greg Maddux's 4 Insane Cy Young Seasons
Спорт
In Greg Maddux's final season with the Cubs in 1992, he took home the Cy Young, and in his next three years with the Braves, he took home the Cy Young every year. Maddux had an insane walk rate while throwing limited pitches in many innings. Throwing less than 90 pitches in a complete game such as his 76-pitch complete game, so many times that he had a term named after him as he became the first to ever win four straight Cy Youngs.

Maddux and that pitching staff was only thing that could stop the 95’ Indians

Indians wouldn't have won regardless 🤷♂️
His two seamer that comes back to the plate on lefties is a thing of beauty

unhittable, I can turn on stuff as a leftie but that back door is evil.
I firmly believe Maddux's 94 and 95 seasons are top-3 since integration, and top-3 in the AL/NL since Walter Johnson. Yes, they were shortened, but he threw 202 and 209 innings -- and the only season I'd rank above these is Pedro Martinez's 2000 season where with no labor dispute he threw 217 innings. Maddux also had 25 and 28 starts, while Pedro had 29 -- across a full season! Which means Maddux was having to do all this on a whole lot less rest than pitchers nowadays are used to.

They certainly warrant consideration, as do some seasons for Marichal, Koufax, Martinez, and Gibson's '68. Also need to check a few others; e.g. Tom Seaver, Lincecum, Carlton, Ryan, Johnson, and Halladay.
Wrigley Field not having lights shouldn't be hard to believe. The Friendly Confines lacked lights not because it was somehow 50 years behind the times, but by very deliberate choice. Like fans famously watching games from the rooftops across Waveland Avenue out beyond left field, and the field's ivy-covered outfield brick wall, Wrigley's status as the last Major League park without lights - hosting only afternoon games - was part of the lore of this stadium steeped in tradition, cherished by fans even outside Chicago.
It would be killer if the Cubs still had all day games at home.
At 4:31 he says “his ERA never dropped below 3 again” when I think he meant to say it never rose above 3 again.
What game and inning is shown at 13:43? I don't remember what happened to cause the ump to grab the batter
I enjoy these kinds of videos, but there are always inaccuracies. The Braves actually played in the NL West in those days(93), and won their division on the last day of the season in an NL where competition was severely thinned by expansion(the Giants won 103 games and missed the postseason).

Yup there was no central division until 1998 so braves were in NL west until than

Randy Johnson was 18-16 one of the years he won the Cy Young. Come on. That was ridiculous.

4:32.....it never dropped below 3.0 again. Um, you meant rose above, right? Words matter. Checking what you say matters. Editing matters.
Those gold gloves though

The gold gloves are little over-rated, if you read how their voted on. Not to say that they don't signify excellence in fielding, it's just that the voting was a bit inexact.
