Greg Maddux's IQ Was on a Whole Different Level

[ruffkuntry]

He was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers

[Charles_N]

Maddux was making that strike zone dance!

[kenthomson]

The G.O.A.T. And I was a Pedro Martinez guy.

There's a fun video on YouTube of Maddux pranking Kris Bryant during a batting practice session. The practice was filmed, and Maddux was disguised as the sound engineer. Check it out.

Is he top 15? And what I mean by that: Lottery is drawn for teams. You are owner and get a pick from 1-15. You can pick from any era. Is Maddux your pick?

[Michael-vffs]

That’s so crazy how is it possible for a pitcher to remember a at bat months earlier and remember how he struck you out!

[paulnettles]

I guarantee he counts cards in Blackjack.

[Stubysz]

He didn't remember.. he just watched video....

[seankiesling]

Lmao that last "fact" is one we're gonna have to take his word on

[tomholman]

Maddox, Smoltz, Glaven, and Avery were the best rotation I’ve ever seen .

[nicolasbaker]

Always loved his little hop after his release

[MrPaultiwanger]

When the Cubs let him leave It took a long time for me to respect Cubs again

[kevinmccarthy]

The braves rotation in the 90s was absolutely terrifying

[jgamez]

For me, this guy was the greatest pitcher ever. I've never seen a pitcher mess with a batter's psyche like Maddux did

[solophentii]

He also stated that he played no mind games, saying he did little else than try to hit his spots like any other pitcher. Obviously he was playing the long con—even off the field, he was basically camouflaging his entire repertoire so hitters would think less of him until he came for their souls ☠️

[joshmullins]

He was brilliant on the mound. This guy had great stuff but it was his head that made him better than anyone else. My favorite pitcher to watch ever. Also, hands down the best fielding pitcher of all time.

[dominicverdin]

I remember Maddux so well growing up watching and playing baseball. He was something special.

[vanringo]

Maddux was one of the scariest pitchers ever.

[Wase]

I wish he would go down in the hof as a brave but I can’t argue with joy choosing one

[thomascolbert]

He also played his position like a cat.
