About Greg Maddux, Hall of Famer

Greg Maddux, known as 'Mad Dog' and 'the Professor,' was a dominant pitcher who spent 23 seasons in Major League Baseball, primarily with the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs. He made his debut with Chicago in 1986 and became the first pitcher ever to win four consecutive Cy Young Awards (1992–1995). During that remarkable stretch, he compiled a 75–29 record with a 1.98 ERA while allowing fewer than one baserunner per inning. An eight-time All-Star, Maddux won the 1995 World Series with Atlanta and finished his career with 355 wins, eighth all-time. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014 on his first ballot with 97.2% of the vote.

Did you know? Maddux threw a complete game shutout with just 78 pitches against the Cubs on July 22, 1997, and within three weeks had also shut out the defending champion Yankees on 84 pitches.
