Career Highlights

My commentary

Maddux Lite. He can throw four pitches for strikes. Always among the league leaders in strike percentage and opponents on-base percentage. Probably the second best right hander ever to pitch for the Orioles, after Jim Palmer himself. One of those people who should be a lifetime Oriole.
