baseball question-- strikeouts

Posted By: steve

Ryan allowed fewest hits per 9 innings of any pitcher - ever.
Ryan Opponents' batting avg. is lowest of any pitcher - ever.

Remember folks, to get a strikeout, you have to throw strikes. Consider perhaps a strike/ball ratio instead of a strikeout/walk ratio. Ryan had better control than most give him credit.

Ryan broke into the league...just AFTER they lowered the pitchers mound. How many fewer ho-hitters would Koufax have had with a lowered mound (rumor the Dodgers toyed with raising mound).........and how many more no-hitters would Ryan have if he pitched with a raised mound - 10? 12? maybe even more? - he has record for most one-hitters.

Top 5 all-time players not necessarily in order:
Walter Johnson
Lefty Grove
Nolan Ryan
Sandy Koufax
Satchel Paige
Take all the big hitters you want, Ruth, Teddy, Cobb - top pitching beats top hitting. I will start picking hitters with my 6th choice.
