3,000 strikeouts, along with the elusive 300-win benchmark, are considered among the gold standards for measuring a pitchers candidacy for Cooperstown.

Zack Greinke’s Hall of Fame Odds after Game 7 Disappointment Houston Astros starting pitcher Zack Greinke has never been known for his loquaciousness. Rich Harden pitched in that game, Gavin Floyd, Denny Bautista, Edwin Jackson, and it seemed like every one of them threw fastballs around 100 mph. He’s not better than Gerrit Cole at his best (Cole will finish 1st or 2nd in the Cy Young voting next month) but Cole had just pitched on Sunday.

Greinke is top 5 in ERA, strikeouts, strikeout-to-walk ratio, Fielding Independent Pitching and many more -- the only other pitcher who is top 5 in all those categories is Kershaw.Greinke does it as only he can, by manipulating hitters.

Feeling so sad that Greinke did not win the ring.

Can a Hall of Fame Case be Framed for Brian McCann?

In 2008, he started again and he was good. In '09, Greinke was incredible, that was his Cy Young Award-winning year and one of the best pitching seasons of the century so far.And here it is: Since 2008, Greinke is 160-77 with a 3.13 ERA and a 4-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio. "I mean, I don't know how, but it's like everything I threw just kept going over the plate, you know?

Serious gas. 3x All-Star, 1 Cy Young, 3 Gold Gloves.

Well, Greinke had already faced the Nationals’ best two hitters (Rendon and Soto).

However, when you’re tabbed to start Game 7 of the World Series, it’s hard to blend into the background. Houston Astros pitcher Zack Greinke has put together a Hall of Fame caliber resume without attracting much notice. It was crazy."Crazy.

While Sabathia's forenamed numbers and accolades will bode well when he becomes eligible, it has been his outgoing personality, reputation as a natural clubhouse leader, and mentor to younger players that will only further aid his case for enshrinement. If he was to pitch in Arizona a few more years, and continue to pitch at a high level, the pitcher could have joined Randy Johnson as the second Diamondback in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Two years later, he began his career in obscurity in KC in 2004 at a time that the Royals were perpetually bad. Again, he followed up a brilliant campaign with a mediocre one, going 13-7 with a 4.37 ERA (2.3 WAR).

We are seeing something special. While, Greinke won't go down among the five-ten best pitchers of all-time, one thing he'll always be remembered for is his consistency.

Greinke probably belongs in the Hall of Fame.

While the possibility of Greinke going into the Hall of Fame as a Diamondback likely wasn't a factor in the Diamondbacks’ trade discussions involving the pitcher, it was an interesting side note.

In those six frames, Greinke gave up just no runs on one hit while issuing just one walk. "But why. After last night, Sabathia, who has won a Cy Young (2007), a World Series (2009), ALCS MVP (2009), and now accumulated more than 3,000 punch outs, is considered by many to be elected to the Hall of Fame once he becomes eligible.

In the top of the 7th inning, after getting a ground out to start the inning, the 6’2″ right-hander hung a change-up which Anthony Rendon promptly deposited into the left field stands for a solo home run.

Or a strong post season moment, which doesn’t appear to be on the horizon any time soon as long as he’s a Diamondback.”, MORE: Zack Greinke trade rumors: Arizona Diamondbacks would 'love to trade' ace, Arizona Diamondbacks trade Zack Greinke to Houston Astros, Zack Greinke trade rumors: Diamondbacks to trade pitcher to Phillies. 34 minutes ago.

After a brief recap of Greinke’s 16-year career, I’ll explain why he has the record that merits a plaque in Cooperstown.

He’s also an excellent hitter, defender and baserunner, and his stoic personality has kept him clear of any off-the-field controversy.”, Joe Posnanski writes: “Most pitchers fade long before they turn 37. Ultimately, Greinke has better numbers than some of the others that are in the Hall of Fame, and his likely finish near the top 20 all-time in strikeouts is very compelling. The Diamondbacks will not have an alumnus at that event.

Since that time, Greinke has established himself as one of the best pitchers in baseball.

It’s tough to get through no matter one time, two times, three times.

Zack Greinke has had an interesting career. A closer look at his series-by-series performance shows that he gave up three runs or fewer in eight of those 11 starts, but the raw number itself may make some voters pause.

There are two reasons that today’s baseball analytics tell managers to be careful about letting a starting pitcher go through the batting order for a third time. The 5-time Gold Glover had five assists, including the start of a double play.

Should Tommy John be Known as a Hall of Famer or Just a Surgical Procedure? Anyway, to make a couple of comparisons to recently elected Hall of Famers, let’s first take a look at how Zack’s numbers compare to the late Roy Halladay, who was posthumously inducted this summer.

A five-win pitcher over 8 seasons is no such slouch, but a strong run from 2017-18, where Greinke posted WAR's of 5.7 and 4.2, averaging out to about 5 WAR once again, Greinke's case for Cooperstown is only strengthened, and a strong start to 2019, where he'll most likely reach 200 wins, and 2500 strikeouts, will only further aid him.

Regardless, the way Greinke was dealing, at least one man in the opposing dugout was hoping for ABZ (Anyone but Zack). (Photo by Jennifer Stewart/Getty Images). Mount Rushmore of Arizona Sports: Does Zack Greinke deserve a spot? The second reason is that, typically, this decision occurs when the pitcher is facing the heart of the opponent’s lineup.

And he’s one of the greatest to ever play the game. Wish it was a National League park.”. Don't even get anyone started on Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens and those guys.Meanwhile, other players whose greatness might have eluded us at the time -- such as Bert Blyleven, Tim Raines, Don Sutton and Alan Trammell -- have been elected to the Hall.So it's a dangerous game thinking that you are seeing a future Hall of Famer in mid-career.But I'm going to make the call right now: Zack Greinke is going to the Hall of Fame.Greinke was just added to the All-Star Game roster on Thursday.

His greater advantage is that he has the added value of 3,000 strikeouts and three career no-nos. Is Former Minnesota Twins Catcher Joe Mauer a Future Hall of Famer?

In baseball history, only Kyle Lohse and Jeff Suppan have started 400 games and had a lower complete-game percentage: I will tell one Greinke story. In 2011, pitching for a contending team for the first time in his career, Greinke posted the best win-loss record of his career (16-6) even though it wasn’t on balance one of his best seasons (3.83 ERA, 1.4 WAR). He had an astonishingly bad and unlucky season in 2005 when he was 21 -- led the league in losses, had a 5.80 ERA, and he was utterly miserable.

He’s pitched for five teams in two different leagues, which is unusual for a pitcher with such a successful resume. He’s also an excellent hitter, defender and baserunner, and his stoic personality has kept him clear of any off-the-field controversy.

So we’ll start there: Even upon first glance, Greinke’s numbers are impressive. "Yeah, I can throw 95 or 98 or whatever," he said.

Following up his 2007 campaign, Greinke further improved when he won a career best 13 decisions, eclipsed 200 innings for the first time in his career, and posted a then-career-best 3.47 ERA, though the best was still yet to come.

And it works.Greinke gets people out with rhythm, by mixing up his deliveries, by holding on to the ball for a couple of extra seconds, and then pitching a half beat before the hitter expects it. Your favorite teams, topics, and players all on your favorite mobile devices. Zack Greinke: Future Hall of Famer Louis Addeo-Weiss 02 May 2019 Three nights ago, CC Sabathia, longtime major league pitcher, now in his 19th and final season, struck out former teammate John Ryan Murphy on an 82 mph change up to pickup his 3,000th career strikeout, becoming only the 17th pitcher to reach the feat, joining Randy Johnson and Steve Carlton as only the third left-hander to do so. But it’s possible that an active member of today’s Diamondbacks team, Zack Greinke, is on his way to the Hall. Stay in the know. And it didn't just go over the plate, but it went over the corners. While the Houston Astros pitcher had always tinkered on the mound, especially with the velocity of his curveball, he has gone beyond what could have been imagined.
