What was Ruth like as a pitcher?

brunswickreeves - That is a great photo, but it is actually from Ruth's rookie year in 1915. It pictures Foster, Mays, Shore, Ruth and Leonard from left to right. Here is another image that was taken at the same time from a different angle. (not mine)

I’d bet he used all those pitches / Probably didn’t have a an incredible fastball - being such a good hitter he knew what hitters didn’t like at a certain time - I’m thinking Greg Maddux smarts But with more walks

Here is Babe Ruth's pitching advice from his 1935 Schutter Johnson card (not mine).

His 2015 season not a bad year

This was the scouting report right before the Red Sox purchased him from Baltimore. There are others saying similar, but this is the best one

Thanks very much for clarifying the players and date. I love this pic!
