Randy Johnson
Johnson was the commander of a incredible slider and a top notch flame thrower. He stood 6-foot-10 earning the nickname “Big Unit”.
The Unit won five Cy Young awards and is second on MLB’s all-time strikeouts list at 4,875. 14 times, he logged 200 innings and at least seven times he logged upwards of 240 frames. He began to decline from 35 to 40, averaging 232 innings per season, striking out more than five times the amount of batter that he walked and pitching an ERA+ of 175.
He was the World Series MVP in 2001 and finished with a 303-166 won-loss record.
