Let's not underestimate the fact that he put up generational leading numbers in the middle of the juice era of MLB.....incredible
-
Not many guys get their numbers retired with two teams. Absolute legend.
-
He was so ahead of his time. He didn’t need an analytics department, he was the analytics department.
-
Greg Maddux is one of the greatest right handed pitchers of all time hands down.
-
He was also a great fielder from the mound. Leaps and bounds better than most pitchers.
-
Growing up & living in Atlanta, I remember how excited the city was when we got him in 1993. I went to hundreds of Braves games during the 90's, and it was amazing having Maddux, Smoltz & Glavine anchor that rotation for a decade. Greg Maddux was an artist on the mound. I remember a quote from Joe Torre back in the day... ''Every time you swing at one of his pitches, it's a ball, and when you don't, it's a strike.''
-
Growing up in Southern California as a Dodger fan I would turn on TBS to just to watch Maddux pitch. As a kid I was amazed at the movement he had on his pitches.
-
I feel extremely lucky to have grown up during the Atlanta Braves golden years. It was pure wizardry what Maddux could do.
-
Maddux had a great career but his days with the Braves in particular with that pitching rotation that included Smoltz & Glavine were amazing
-
I'm glad you at least slipped in the Gold Gloves at the end there. from 1990-2008, the only year he didn't win the Gold Glove was 2003, that's absolutely nuts. That is a mega underrated part of his game.
-
It was an absolute honor growing up watching that trio pitch for my Braves in the 90s.
-
One of my dad's favorite players of all time. His control was superhuman, and he was using analytics to get hitters out before it was cool. Great pitcher.
-
I’ve been a Braves fan since I was 11 yrs old (over 40 years)…Greg Maddux is the best baseball player I’ve ever seen. On days he didn’t pitch, he would be in the dugout sharing his knowledge with other pitchers, which helped elevate their game! I cannot express, in words, my personal appreciation for him as a Braves fan. He truly contributed to the franchise legacy!
-
My favorite pitcher. Growing up in Atlanta, the announcers always broke down what Greg Maddux was doing on the mound. He and Tom Glavine loved the corners of the strike zone.
-
Usually watching pitching is boring as can be but he was such a master it was absolutely fascinating to watch him work
-
I grew up a braves fan and got to see just how impressive Maddux was. His ball control is something to admire.
-
I’ve seen all these highlights a dozen times and they never get old.
-
The man was an absolute artist on the mound. Glad I grew up watching him play.
-
I remember watching a day game way back in the mid 90s between Maddux and Kevin Brown,it was one of the shortest games in Baseball history. It was pitching at just an insane level of perfection. I will never forget that game and Maddux’s sustained brilliance
-
I idolized Maddux as a little leaguer growing up in GA. However, no matter how much I studied him, I could not get the ball to move like it did for the 4 pitches at the 5:45 mark. He was amazing!
