Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:I wonder what the highest SB/times reached rate is probably a dave roberts type who's not an every day starter but is used as a pinch runner a lot to steal a base in a close game e: since he was the first name that came to mind: adding walks + hits but subtracting triples and dingers he came out to 25.5% e2: Rickey Henderson is at 28.9% which is absurd considering how much he got on base, jesus christ IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Sep 1, 2023 |

Rickey Henderson on why he didn't hit more triples: "Rickey knows when the outfielders have better arms than the catchers."

Will 130 SB in a season ever be broken? I feel like that's going to be up there just like the 56 game hitting streak (this always boggles my mind) and hitting over .400. vvvv drat you caught me before the edit MrMidnight fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Sep 1, 2023 |

It was a 56 game hitting streak  Baseball's most unbreakable record is Cy Young's 749 complete games e: A complete list of all the pitchers in baseball history who started more than 749 games: Nolan Ryan Don Sutton

When I had the thought I looked up Rangers legend Scarborough Green who stole 10 bases in 1999 on 29 hits and 10 walks, which is not as many SB as I thought. I guess I watched all of his stolen bases. He def stole home once.

If you exclude everyone who pitched before 1920 then the complete games record is 382 by Warren Spahn and that is baseball's most unbreakable record. If you want to go recenter than that then I would submit as baseball's most unbreakable record Nolan Ryan's 292 career losses

Nolan Ryan also issued a full 50% more walks (2,795) than the guy in second place all time (Steve Carlton, 1,833). The active walks leader is If your argument is that Nolan Ryan was a genetic freak the likes of which will never be seen again and therefore his records are no more interesting than the records of Deadball pitchers... that's a fair point. But like I'm old enough to remember watching Nolan Ryan pitch and also give Robin Ventura a powernoogie, which makes it feel a lot different from Ol' Hoss Radbourn.

There are fourteen (14) active pitchers with 7 career complete games. Eleven (11) of them are 35 or older. e: Actually it's only 12 and 10, b-ref still lists Bumgarner and Hamels as "active"

That guy was a loving alien I was curious, so I checked the complete games lists limiting it to post integration, and of course it's still nuts. Robin Roberts with 305. BUT - next in line is Gaylord Perry at 303 and I remember his final couple seasons at least. Active leader is Wainwright with 28. In < 40 years the game just changed too much - complete games as a stat may as well be some relic from the 1800s. Never say never etc etc, but I assume Bonds' walk record - set all in my baseball watching lifetime - looks pretty unbreakable. Of course I probably would have thought that about Henderson's total if Bonds weren't actively doing Bond things by the time Henderson passed Ruth. Of course there's no way in Hell Bonds' IBB record is ever touched.

You would need to steal 50 bases a season for 28 years, and you'd still be 6 short of Rickey's record. e: I know, Shameful

Nothing better to do on a Friday leading into a three day weekend: Unless I missed some names. Most complete games for a player that started 1970 or later: Bert Blyleven (came up 1970) - 242 Most complete games for a player that started 1980 or later: Roger Clemens (came up 1984) - 118 Most complete games for a player that started 1990 or later: Roy Halladay (Came up 1998) - 67 Note - the 1990 or later could have been Randy Johnson at 100, but he came up in 1988. Funnily enough - he's tied at 100 with noted Dennis Eckersley - who pitched for 11 seasons after his last start. Also - looking though that list led me to this guy and HOW have I never heard of this dude? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/nolanth01.shtml

That Nolan Ryan strikeout record is incredibly unreachable. Max Scherzer is 38 already and he's still 2400 behind Ryan. Ryan- 5714 next most among actives- Scherzer 3354 Verlander 3308 Kershaw (of active players) may end up in the Top 10 all time in strikeouts by the time he's done. He's just under 3000 right now, but his health situation is always a question. Greg Maddux is #10 all time at 3371.
