Greatest Pitchers of All Time
Granted, the list is primarily comprised of pitchers who played after World War II even though there are many pitchers who put up staggering numbers prior to that period, but it is hardly a fair comparison to include the earliest pitchers who played in a far less competitive era when many of the best players weren?t even allowed to join the league.

1)
Nolan Ryan
“His record will remain untouched for many years. He is my favortie pitcher and a true legend. Cy Young gets credit for the most wins, but he also has the most loses. Nolan is the only pitcher to ever throw the 110 mph heat.”
“Struck out more people than any1 in history.”
“He was the Author of pitching and many pitchers learned/are learning from him.
”
2)
Greg Maddux
“Greg is awesome at pitching...”
“definitely better than nolan ryan, better than gibson, and better than koufax only because koufax’ career was cut short”
3)
Sandy Koufax
“From 1961 to 1966 the greatest ever. If I had to pick a pitcher to win one game Sandy is the man.SBL”
“Would have been the greatest ever by far if he didn’t get injured. Here is my top 5 list.
1. Walter Johnson
2. Sandy Koufax
3. Warren Spahn
4. Lefty Grove
5. Christy Mathewson
Nolan Ryan is not the best ever.”
4)
Walter Johnson
“Easily the best ever. Koufax, Clemens, Grove, and Spahn are rigt behind him.”
“Why is Walter Johnson so low?”
5)
Bob Gibson
“oh, and they lowered the freakin’ mound because of him.”
“absolutely unhittable for YEARS. people were scared to death of this guy and he didn’t really hit a lot of people.”
6)
Cy Young
“THE CY YOUNG!!!”
“If you ever look at his numbers, they are ridiculous.”
7)
Roger Clemens
8)
Tom Seaver
9)
Pedro Martinez
“I agree... while you have to take into account that his arm failed him as he got older, you also have to take into account that his ERA was often well below other pitchers of his day, and he man-handled hitters during the heart of the steroid era.
In his prime he was THE best. There are very very few others that you could argue were better.”
“Pedro Martinez is the most dominat pitcher I have ever seen. He also has the best fastball in the history of baseball.”
“best prime of a career for a pitcher”
