He also once threw a 76-pitch complete game.


One of the most incredible stats ever. His pitch count per INNING that day


quote:


1st: 7
2nd: 11
3rd: 9
4th: 11
5th: 7
6th: 7
7th: 7
8th: 9
9th: 8

76 pitches. Yes, just 76. Of those, only 13 were balls. He had six strikeouts. Not only did Maddux not walk anyone, he didn’t get into a single three-ball count all day. He only got two balls against a hitter twice — once in the second inning against Sammy Sosa and in the seventh against Mark Grace.


He also had the quickest complete game. The game started at 7:05pm and ended at 8:50pm. 102 pitches with 13 strikeouts.

They played a nine-inning game in less than an hour back in the early 1920s.

ETA. 1919. Giants 6 Phillies 1.
