My Take
Greg Maddux is my favorite kind of pitcher to admire. Born in San Angelo, Texas, he never overpowered hitters; he out-thought them, earning the nickname The Professor. Four straight Cy Young Awards from 1992 to 1995, a feat only Randy Johnson has matched, is simply absurd, yet he worked the mound with the calm of someone solving a puzzle, placing each pitch like a chess move. Add a wall of Gold Gloves and a deserved 2014 Hall of Fame induction, and you have artistry over velocity. Surviving 23 seasons on intelligence rather than raw power feels like a delicious rebuttal to the power era.
