most dominant pitcher ever?

TommyBoy · 04-07-2003, 05:22 PM

I picked up this SP after I noticed he got 400+K's the previous year. This is the best guy I have ever seen in my leagues. Anyone else see studs like this come along in your league?

Cuss16 · 04-07-2003, 05:29 PM

nope. not yet.

Bluenoser · 04-07-2003, 05:49 PM

TommyBoy - any chance you could post his career stats?

The most dominant pitcher in the Maelstrom so far is Christy Mathewson:

It's his K's ratings that are so amazing. Take that away and he is just a "good" pitcher. It'd be fun to see him play if OOTP had a graphical representation

Rasmuth · 04-07-2003, 06:32 PM

nice k/bb ratio

Markmeister · 04-07-2003, 06:40 PM

The most dominant pitcher in the JOBL so far is Aaron Duran. Doesn't have the strike out ability, but more than makes up for it by not allowing hits. Career OAVG is 0.150

Well isn't the case for most strikeout pitchers?

Eumel · 04-07-2003, 07:24 PM

That would be Hartford's David McCullough. He is still active, and he won 6 Cy Youngs so far and lead the league in WHIP 13 years in a row and in ERA 8 years in a row.

In his last season he was 26-1 with an ERA of 1.43, including a no-hitter, the best I saw so far.

He's 36 now and is still a contender for another Cy Young Trophy or two.

Edit: I can't count :P

Eumel · 04-07-2003, 07:34 PM

I have attached his player report in .zip form, as html files aren't possible.

ZouDave · 04-07-2003, 08:06 PM

Takajirou Haranobu was the best I ever had. Started out as a OOTP4 career, finished it in OOTP5. He was absolutely the man.

6-time Cy Young winner, including 5 straight from 2008-2012, and then again in 2014. Absolutely disgusting that he didn't win in 2013, when he went 26-6 with a 1.91 ERA, 330 K's and a 0.90 WHIP. But, he didn't win.

Here's the man:

Sudy Nym · 04-07-2003, 09:03 PM

With Bratten, isn't that over 15 K/9 IP?

Did any other starter ever come close to that in real life? Nolan Ryan? Randy Johnson? I'm not much of a historian, but at a glance, Matt Kilroy had 513 Ks in 1887- though he pitched 583 innings. The best I could find was Johnson in '01- 372 in 249.2. But that's only around 13.5/9.

Unfriendlybob · 04-07-2003, 09:50 PM

That guy Takajirou won almost 250 games before he ever started one!? Wait, but he still had complete games. What happened there?

Kelric · 04-07-2003, 09:59 PM

I'm guessing those are the years the league was in OOTP4.

dumrox · 04-07-2003, 10:01 PM

I bet the years where it doesn't show any games started were OOTP4 years and the GS stat got lost when he moved to OOTP5.

Tex · 04-07-2003, 10:40 PM

This guy was pretty impressive. Won two Cy Young, but was his consitency over the years to build his legend.
The stat are too much so the total is partialy cover, so here a little recap.
Started 803 games, Wins: 330, Losses: 218, ERA: 2.70, IP: 5315.0, HA: 3568, ER: 1593, BB: 1297, K: 5566, CG: 51, SHO: 32, WHIP: 0.92

Tex · 04-07-2003, 10:45 PM

Here the screen. He also pitched a Perfect Game in 2002.

Specs · 04-07-2003, 11:43 PM

In the CDL (the premier OOTP historical online league, now in its 17th season and boasting more than eight message board posts in the last five calendar months), Steve Carlton of the St. Louis Cardinals struck out 447 men in 1974, and even that was only 13 K/9.

kellian1 · 04-08-2003, 12:20 AM

Eric Dumont for me finished with a lifetime record of

351 Wins and 96 losses in 577 Game Starts
Lifetime Era of 1.98 (10 years under a 2 era!!!)
129 CG and 61 shutouts with a lifetime whip of 0.92

4238.1 innings and 3268 hits
616 walks and 3611 K's

11 - 20 win seasons
10 years era under 2 (8 of those under a 1.90!!!)
13 years Whip under 1 (10 of those undera .90!!!)
10 Cy Young (or in our league Joe Tate Sr.) awards!!

Best Year... hmm probably between these 2

in 2023 he was 28-1 with a 1.54 ERA

263.1 innings and 187 hits with 35 walks and 217 K's
7 CG and 5 Shutouts

in 2036 he was 24-6 with a 1.42 ERA

253.2 Innings and 159 Hits with 58 walks and 201 K's
5 CG and 5 Shutouts

By far the most dominate pitcher ive seen in the 3 years Ive been playing out of the park!!

Id give put of a screen shot but cant seem to get it under the 102K limit.
