Pitching's Triple Crown Contenders

ISBN: 9780595002580
Category : Baseball
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Pitching's Triple Crown Contenders is about baseball's greatest pitchers. It is a fair and comprehensive comparison of pitchers fom all eras. Unlike other "Baseball's Greatest" books, it relies strictly on the numbers, and it doesn't try to rank pitchers in with hitters. Fifth place in strikeouts is the same in 1999 as it was in 1888—it means that only four pitchers in the league had a higher strikeout total. The placement in each Triple Crown category is the sole criteria used to rank the players. It's a fresh, new way of evaluating the careers of baseball's greatest pitchers. TCC points should become part of serious fans' vocabulary within a couple of years, and eventually may become an Offical Major League Baseball Statistic. The various lists towards the end of the book confirm what most fans already knew about who were the flamethrowers and who were the best finesse pitchers. Three new stats for pitchers are introduced—Hitless Average and Out Percentage, and the greatest pitchers' best seasons are ranked using the TCC Ratio.

When Pedro Martinez won his first Cy Young Award with the Boston Red Sox in 1999 many people in the baseball world claimed it to be one of, if not, the greatest pitching achievement of all-time. Though a remarkable campaign it hardly ranks as the greatest ever. This book lists in order the top 150 pitching performances for a single season between the years 1900-1999. Based on the grading system developed for this book Pedro’s season ranks as the 45th best season for a pitcher. Who is the greatest pitcher in the history of baseball?

The debate as to the best ever will continue but the chapter comparing pitchers of today and yesteryear will offer some new insights. This book will truly interest the baseball enthusiast because it offers clear and interesting data. Plus the measuring stick used for the rankings is not based on opinion, potential or favoritism but rather on fair and unbiased criteria. Eighty-seven pitchers (biographies included), from the famous to the one season wonders, make up the list of the greatest 150 pitching seasons. Included as well are brief summaries of an additional 130 pitchers.
