And Pedro averaged it for 7 season. Now that's ridiculous

Awesome vid. Though I am was an Indians fan during Pedro's Reign of Terror, it was hard not to admire him. He was so very entertaining, even in beating one's own team. And he was so small of stature! I worked with the Cleveland Indians media at that time and so once had a chance to be next to Pedro-- tiny fella! Yet, man, somehow he could bring that fastball of NITRATE! Amazing, incredible, impressive. Thanks for the vid.

I love pedro

Pedro Martinez, especially in 1999 and 2000, was the most dominant pitcher in the game. His fastball looked like a tiny aspirin at opposing hitters. And Pedro's curveball was devasting.

Dude had some long ass fingers and could drop the circle change like nobody else.

Trout shouldn't have won the MVP when his team stunk, and had a losing season one year.

He was on steroids too

The greatest ever. True to his number 45...he is so legendary.

He's the GOAT pitcher. 8th all time in the most important stat (WHIP) and did it all in the steroids era while only being 5'11 175lbs.

Don't overlook Tim Lincecum, another slim guy who dominated for a time. Martinez had career longevity. Lincecum didn't. Martinez was a better pitcher, but Lincecum has his place in the hall of the very good.

Pedro was one of the best ever an unbelievable talent

Kinda click bait acting like 5'11" is a dwarf size

Can we all say the steroid era is was better than what we see now

Hypothetical statistics can't replace talent. Good players are always better than hypothetical analytics. When the As have been good over the last 20 years, it was with a core of good players they developed and were controllable. Yes moneyball can help support a core, but you cant build a team with it.

His changup in his prime was basically unhittable.

really liked the quality of the vid. I subcribed :D

Should be in the hall of fame? You lost me

Including “newer” stats like FIP in videos about players from this era kinda sucks bc no one knew about them. It ruins the immersion

Great video, except that the year 2000 is not part of the 21st century. There is no year "0," which makes the year 2000 the 100th year of the 20th century

I dont see any reason why not. If you never brought it up. Nobody would care. Although I gotta admit guys like Chris Young and Chris Sale and Randy Johnson got a natural advantage

Great video! Pedro is the goat and great human signed all my stuff as a kid always will be one of the best pitchers of all time and short of papi maybe the most beloved Sox of all time

Not much of a 'How' he defeated the steroid era... This is just a bunch of surface stats. no analysis

I have to point out- Billy Beane didn’t invent the Moneyball concept per se. Sandy Alderson and Walt Jocketty established its beginnings when they were GM and assistant GM in Oakland prior to Beane’s promotion EDIT: And if you really wanna go back, Branch Rickey ran a proto-Moneyball back when he was running the Brooklyn Dodgers and hired Allan Roth as a statistician

The problem with baseball is all the awards are opinion based. Statistics are all that should matter. Pedro was the 99 mvp in our hearts and he did throw that perfect 9 in montreal. And i'm a lifetime Orioles fan and he was an instant loss when he was pitching against us

I still can't believe Harold baines as a hall of famer

Slow down and get the marbles out of your mouth.

Gotta be a typo at 14:43, right? Based on IP, I assume those stats are for Pedro from 97 through 2003, and that you didnt just cherry pick his best year to compared to Johnson's averages?

slow down

I would never give an MVP to a pitcher, esp over a catcher who has prob the toughest job on the field physically and mentally if he is calling pitches, watching hitters, and keeping an eye on baserunners all while trying not to let a ball get by him. You should do a vid on making a case for Pudge Rodriguez being the best catcher of all time...14 times all star 13-time gold glove (1st all-time for C) 7 time Silver Slugger winner 1 MVP and 1 ring. In a ten year span in his career, he carried a .315 BA while hitting a career 296 over 21 seasons 2,844 hits (1st all-time for C) 311 HR 2,427 games caught (1st all-time for C) 14,864 putouts (2nd all-time for C) The most impressive thing about Pudge is he is 8th ALL TIME for DWAR among position players like Ozzie Smith, Cal Ripken Jr , Brooks Robinson etc and is the only catcher in the top 10...There may have been catchers with more HR power but in my opinion for average and power, defense, and longevity behind the plate there is no better all-around catcher

Red Sox fan here, love that you made a video about one of our favorite boys! 😄 Also sorry to be "that guy" but the 21st century technically started in 2001, not 2000

king is back

That’s a Eephus

That’s not a curve…..

99 cents on CollX, that’s how good.

The goal of every front office should be to win the world series. Not increase valuation.

Ofc it’s all white Sox 😂

今年トロント行くんだけど来年はピッツバーグ行きたいです。スキーンズとマカッチェン、そしてロベルト・クレメンテの魂を感じたい。

Chapman still throwing 104 at 36 years old.

1st comment pls pin

This would be impressive if they pitched full games and not just 3 or 4 innings

Paul Alene’s threw one 104.6

Every single one they made contact that's impressive too

But his best year was his first year. And Judge is better if he doesn't get hurt all the time

He has 762 HR 514 stolen bases 7 MVP should have 10 and no HOF that’s sad. ⚾️

デラクルーズの方が速いかも

藤浪)))))

And arraez still hit it slower

Why do they pitch like this?

His fielding solid as fck, but hitting not even close. Also war useless

2:59 rookie yes, but that's it. Nothing more than that. War useless
