Nolan Ryan is the most overrated pitcher of all time.

That's four of the five I had along with Kershaw. Now Kershaw hasn't quite matched Ryan's whole career and I doubt he ever catches his longevity and counting stats, but on a per-game basis, Kershaw is clearly better.

I am taking these four over Nolan Ryan every time. Pedro's 98-99 seasons were absolutely insane when you consider the era. He's my choice if we are taking these guys in their prime

ETA meant 99 and 2000 seasons

He's become underrated because so many people really think this

Best in the modern era, no. That's not even a good troll

Any of these baws have their own brand of meat sold at the grocery store?

Thank you. It needs to be said. Dude has assumed some sort of mythical status for some reason. Yes, he was great. Yes, he has the no-hitters. No, he is not in the top 10 pitchers of all time.

Nolan is the Chuck Norris of baseball players.

Coincidence they both were Texas Rangers?
