He was such a smart pitcher. Not overpowering but with incredible control and movement.

[skykingimagery]

Never a Braves fan, but he was one of the best of this era.

[cahlendavidson]

We live in an amazing era. 50 tips like this you could get in a few days or weeks would have taken you a lifetime when I was a kid. And I'm not quite 40

[pigtowski]

Maddux, cat fish hunter, were my favorites to copy when I pitched😎

[michaelmelro]

And that’s the difference between great and all-time legends right there.

[jamesgweddle]

His lessons are applicable 100% to just about every avenue in life, especially business. Think like the other side of the table. Thank you Mr. Maddux.

[odisbrown]

Real baseball fans love this stuff....

[burnlastsunday]

Could listen to him talk pitching for hours.

[UnkleRuckusNoRelation]

Didn't know Randy Johnson also umpire 3rd base 😂

[TheViking]

One of the smartest pitchers of all time

[morriscallihan]

Larry Bird of baseball pitchers. Smart, not an overpowering fastball but pin point accuracy, great set up pitches, masterful with three breaking/ off speed pitches. Like a great artist at work.

[kirkjackson]

He had serious movement on his pitches, tlto a point to where balls were fading back over the back corners of the plate

[KM-emme]

Every batter has a set of characteristics that makes him unique. Depending on where you stand in the batter's box I might use your waist bone or your belt as a point of reference when throwing you a curve ball. I often made batter's back out of the batters box on curves because they were crowding the plate. I never ever considered beaning a batter but I often used their bodies as a point of reference.

[chop]

He & Gooden arrived around the same time. Only this guy dominated for years.

[Jcikokalol]

Dude looks like a full time office worker and part time little lesgue coach...in reality one of the greatest pitchers ever. Amd i absolutely hated him when he was playing. And the braves. But damn those were some good teams

[kiedwin]

I heard him speaking something about throwing a bait pitch to a batter at the beginning of a regular season, allow him to hit a home run, then don’t throw the same pitch during the playoff series

[wattsnex]

Pitch tunneling has been around forever. When i was in college in the late 90’s you were either sinker/slider or tall and fall high fastball/12-6. If you threw a sinker, you threw a circle change. If you threw straight 4seam, you threw straight 4seam change/bp fastball. The split was considered a “veterans pitch” and could only be thrown by guys who commanded at least 2 pitches. This was Jim Gilligan, Howie Gershberg stuff. And even Tom House to a degree.

[bradw]

Mad Dog might have been one of the top 3 pitchers ever to play the game.

[MrBendylaw]

Hardest pitcher ever to predict what the next pitch was, for me. Even looking at where the catcher set up, still impossible.

[JoeGunn]

maddux, unit and Pedro.. the 90s was the greatest decade in baseball history with maybe the 1920s.
