I hired Greg Maddox to paint my house, but all he did was paint the corners.

[JackFlaps]

Maddux was a pitcher, an artist, not just trying to overpower hitters.

[WildRhymer]

I remember an interview with Maddux and Tom Glavine where they both stated that in today's baseball, they might not even be drafted because of lack of velocity....2 hall of famers!!!

[BellBivDeveau]

I was always a Red Sox fan but thoroughly enjoyed watching the Braves. Maddox, Glavine, Smoltz, what a trio.

Greg Maddux shows you here the greatest skill any pitcher can have: the ability to cheat when it's legal. "Hey man, you gonna give me an edge, I'll take it." And he knew it too, "They fouled the ball off and it was like, okay all things are fair again." Absolute legend.

One of the greatest hurlers of all time, and one of my all-time favorite players, period!!! Thanks for sharing another awesome video, my friend!!

My all time favorite pitcher is Greg Maddux. He elevated pitching to an art form. I feel that too many young pitchers today are breaking down too quickly because they try to throw flames all the time. They need to watch more Maddox video clips.

Two of the most exciting pitchers to watch were David Cone and Greg Maddux. They went to the mound like a professional business man and proceeded to precisely out work you on the mound like a fine chess match. When pitchers don't have an over powering fastball then they have to outsmart you. These two guys were amongst the greatest this game has ever had. Great memories, thank you!

His balls moved so much due to his lack of velocity and the amount of spin he was able to impart on the ball. It's just pure aerodynamics. As a kid, I could make a slow curve do so much more than one I threw with full arm speed. Greg was a master. As effective as a knuckle baller without the knuckle ball.

[danieltravis]

Greg Maddox was a literal artist with the ball

Ive never seen a pitcher with that kind of control WITH his movement before

[randylevy]

The funniest part of that pitch is that it is delivered so perfectly to come back on the corner and then misses by a foot almost down the middle from that insane movement

[jefffinkbonner]

Hey if MLB wants to improve the pace of play, forget the danged pitch clock. Just keep letting pitchers reuse the same ball until it’s hit out of play! With all those scuffs the game will just breeze on by!

[brockkies]

I grew up watching Maddux for the Braves. They had a loaded pitching staff in Smoltz Glavine and him. But watching Maddux just gave me pure joy. A love and understanding for the game. He was just brilliant, the best hitters in baseball will tell you the hardest pitcher to hit and most of the time it was Maddux

[WilliamHendershott]

Watching Greg Maddux pitch is like watching Bob Ross paint.

[motsy]

I was fortunate enough to be able to see most of his career. He wasn’t a pitcher, he was an artist. Seen him through complete game shut outs with fewer than 80 pitches. He made it look easy to make great hitters look helpless. And won 18 gold gloves

[davidgardner]

Best pitcher of my generation...one of the smartest minds in baseball history....high quality human being....you just can't replace mad dog....

[teachersama]

I'd love to hear what Alou has to say about THAT pitch LOL

[cumberbatchpepperpot]

Any professional pitcher needs to pay Greg Maddux 10k to go have coffee with them

[ryanorr]

the most interesting thing to me about greg is he never was a flame thrower yet he was so dominant.

[Geotubest]

I can't believe Maddux remembered the NEXT pitch after the nasty one.
