Which MLB pitcher in your lifetime was most dominant in his prime?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 19th, 2019 2:10 PM Author: Hot Mental Disorder For me, I’d say prime Pedro, or maybe prime Kershaw through 2017. (Decline phase started last year.)
Maybe OldHLSDude can come ITT and tell us about Bob Gibson or Sandy Koufax. |

Date: January 19th, 2019 3:08 PM Author: Bearded swashbuckling nowag genital piercing I watched the Randy Johnson perfect game live on tv. There were very few pitches the batters could even see. 8th and 9th inning were as anti climactic as they could be. Also he just walked off the mound like no big deal (the catcher was 10x more excited than he was). Seemed like he could have gone another six innings.
OTOH, I was at yankee stadium in 99 when pedro one hit (17ks) a team that won the World Series.
Hard to say either was more dominant. |

This seems like a fair compromise. Should acknowledge that Pedro's reign was much shorter. |
|
Date: January 19th, 2019 3:13 PM Author: Doobsian nighttime ticket booth filthpig Actually, for people in most of the 90’s it was Johnson, without a doubt. Pedro for only a little for a few years after Randy. Doc had the best stuff in the shortest amount of time. Ryan wasn’t dominant, just lasting, unfortunately.

|
Date: January 19th, 2019 3:16 PM Author: Hot Mental Disorder Interesting thing about Johnson is that his prime came later. For years he struggled with control because of his height. Even when he became an All Star-caliber pitcher, his control held him back. But in 1995 (age 31) he took it to another level, and went on a crazy run through 2002.

Johnson's highest career ERA+ was 195 (but he had a bunch of years that were close). So they were generally comparable, but Pedro had 2 year otherworldly seasons (he also had a 219 ERA+ in 1997 with the Expos).

Date: January 19th, 2019 3:23 PM Author: Bearded swashbuckling nowag genital piercing I don’t understand all of you guys flaming about Nolan Ryan. Did some moron write an article saying Ryan was overrated because he walked a lot of guys?
Go look at his stats. He had a 2.97 FIP over 5000 innings. That’s a better FIP than RJ. 72-91 he was dominant. Yes he walked a lot of guys, but he made up for it by not giving up many hits (he has the best h/9 stat of anyone, better than Keyshawn, and achieved that over 5000 innings). |
|
Date: January 19th, 2019 3:24 PM Author: Hyperventilating Low-t Stage Pistol 112 career ERA+ (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4181283&forum_id=2#37621554) |
|
Date: January 19th, 2019 3:42 PM Author: Bearded swashbuckling nowag genital piercing You can't overrely on one stat
in the 1970s there were 24 teams. in the 2000s when pedro was in his prime there were 30.
Ryan lead the lead in ERA+ twice, was in the top 10 seven times. The overall number is down compared to Pedro have because pitching quality was overall better and got thin as fuck in the late 90s to early 00s especially as the league roided up.
That's why i point to FIP numbers instead to show dominance compared to his peers of the 70s and 80s. He was in the top ten in his league almost every year from 72-91:
1972 AL 2.49 (3rd) 1973 AL 2.49 (2nd) 1974 AL 2.98 (4th) 1976 AL 2.91 (6th) 1977 AL 3.12 (4th) 1978 AL 2.96 (5th) 1979 AL 3.22 (3rd) 1980 NL 2.89 (2nd) 1981 NL 2.28 (2nd) 1983 NL 3.09 (8th) 1984 NL 2.66 (4th) 1985 NL 2.90 (7th) 1986 NL 3.06 (7th) 1987 NL 2.47 (1st) 1989 AL 2.51 (2nd) 1990 AL 2.87 (3rd) 1991 AL 2.75 (2nd)
I am not arguing that he was more dominant than RJ or Pedro or Clemens in their prime, but this stathead fascination with pretending Nolan Ryan was some second tier player like Pete Rose who happened to play a long time is off base.

|
Date: January 19th, 2019 4:07 PM Author: Hyperventilating Low-t Stage Pistol i mean those number suggest he was a very good pitcher but not on the level of others mentioned in this thread.
tom seaver played in the same era as Ryan and his numbers blow Ryan's out of the water overall. |
|
Date: January 19th, 2019 4:37 PM Author: Bearded swashbuckling nowag genital piercing Yes, tom seaver was the most dominant pitcher of his era
Ryan was in the top five |
|
Date: January 19th, 2019 3:27 PM Author: Doobsian nighttime ticket booth filthpig Ryan also pitched in a time where pitchers were expected to pitch, not throw for 5-2/3 innings and let the set-up fags take over. Should have thrown in the dead ball era and he’d have 511+ wins and 7000 strike outs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4181283&forum_id=2#37621572) |

https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SEA/SEA199108140.shtml
https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SEA/SEA199909040.shtml
Randy was more intimidating, and he had to be. In the Kingdome, one | wrong | move was going 400 feet. That was a crazy shithole of a park. Pedro was pure dominance though. You could see the look of defeat on the players.
Pitchers just rarely go deep like this anymore

https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/earned_run_avg_plus_season.shtml
Randy Johnson obviously has an intimidation factor and 350 strikeout seasons. But Maddux and Pedro each had seasons with ERAs less than 2. Maddux won the WS (and his 4th Cy Young in a row) in a season where he went 19-2 with a 1.63 ERA.
Pedro was pitching in the AL East and his 2000 season still is the best of all time statistically.
