Default Survey: Most overated pitcher (pre-1930)

Posted By: John/z28jd

Not to totally change this thread but i agree with Jay for any era pitchers its Koufax and with Nolan Ryan,not only does he rank up there in losses,first in wild pitches,hes top 10 in hit batters and he leads in career walks allowed by just under 1000 over 2nd place.

We've had the Koufax discussion too many times,but hearing all the stories when i was a kid and then actually sitting down and looking at his year by year record its mind boggling how much of a disappointment it was.I checked a few different sources to make sure my initial source was correct.He went out on top so thats how hes remembered but if his career stats were reversed[first year last and vice versa] he would be an afterthought
