... . Wood, who pitched more than 1000 innings during the period up to age 22, clocked in with a 155 ERA+. Second on the list is the equally impressive Dwight Gooden . Gooden debuted at age 19, but it was his age 20 season that is notable. Almost surely the best season by any pitcher 22 or younger, Gooden’s 1985 featured 24 wins, a 228 ERA+ and 276 innings. For good measure, he struck out nearly a man an inning that year. Gooden was never that great again—few are, after all—but he deserves his place amongst the greatest young pitchers of all-time. The rest of the ERA+ is fairly ...

The Mets Mount Rushmore

Who would you choose for the "Mets Mount Rushmore"? Who are those four all-time greats that truly represent the team, the fans, the greatness that is NY Mets baseball, and who epitomize all things Mets? It's not an easy choice is it? You have greats like Dwight Gooden , Jerry Koosman , Ed Kranepool , Tug McGraw , Mookie Wilson , maybe Strawberry too....but you know they just don't belong on the Mets Mount Rushmore. You think harder and decide against Gary Carter and John Franco . Al Leiter comes to mind along ...

The Cheapest Way To Hit Off Dwight Gooden
Published 1/28/2009 at FirstCuts
... If a 19-year-old kid came up to the Major Leagues this season, threw 218 innings, and struck out 276, there would be simultaneous hosannas to his greatness and gnashing of teeth over abuse of his arm. The internet would collapse under the weight of the punditry predicting doom within three years and calling for both manager and general manager to lose their jobs. You might be thinking this would never happen, that no one could be that good that young, but that line is exactly what Dwight Gooden put up in 1984. ...

The Unjust, Long-Lasting Effects of Awards Voting on Hall of Fame Enshrinement

... and Dwight Gooden's numbers in the National League in 1984. Cleveland dealt Sutcliffe to the Cubs mid-season and the right-hander subsequently went on to go 16-1, pitching the Cubs into their first post-season appearance in 39 years. It was a big deal. But still, look at the numbers above. I don't know; if I was a voter I would have a hard time telling who the better pitcher was. Well the electorate did not have such a difficult time. Sutcliffe won unanimously, despite strikeout numbers that paled in comparison to Doc's and only pitching part of the season in the ...

My friend Doc Dougherty wrote a play that took place in his neighborhood in Queens the night Seaver was dealt to the Reds. One of the characters contemplates moving to Cincinnati to watch Seaver pitch.

Given Sutcliffe’s less than stellar performance while with Cleveland (4-5, 94.3 IP, 5.15 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, 58 K) and his near perfect run in Chicago, it’s seems the voters didn’t give his time in Cleveland much thought. Sutcliffe also faced a seemingly better pitcher in the voting that year. It may have been because he was a rookie or his team finished second to Sutcliffe’s Cubs, but Dwight Gooden was better than Sutcliffe over 68 more innings and didn’t get a single first place ...

First Half vs Careers - Who is doing what - Pitchers
Published 7/16/2008 by John Northey at Batter's Box Interactive Magazine
Pitchers are an odd beast. They can have career years at age 20 (Dwight Gooden) or age 45 (Phil Neikro). OK, Phil's age 35 season might have been better. There is a reason no one claims to predict pitchers with a high degree of accuracy, and why TINSTAAPP. Still, lets see how the Jays are doing vs their careers. For this exercise I'll focus on IP BB/9 SO/9 ERA ERA+ as that tells the majority of the tale. W-L and Saves are more a function of how the manager uses them and how good the team around them is rather than the players individual skill. Some ...

Last year, the Giants needed to be aware of the tendency that usually college pitchers need a decent amount of time in the minor leagues. But all things were not equal with Tim Lincecum . Life isn't as simple as any one principle.………………….. In 1984, the New York Mets were aware that not many pitchers can destroy the National League at 19 years of age — other things being equal. But Doc Gooden's arsenal meant that you could not apply the same guideline to him that you could to 99.9% of other pitchers. At ...

Active Hall of Famers in MLB

... It's very difficult to differentiate a Hall of Fame pitcher from a non-Hall of Fame pitcher early in a career. The difference is usually longevity. The years from 30-40 have been very kind to many pitchers in MLB today. The problem with projecting pitchers is that there's no way of knowing who will be able to pitch effectively until the age of 40. Doc Gooden looked to be a sure bet before his career came to a screeching halt. ...
