Pedro at the all star game in Fenway; height of the steroid era. Gross 
There was more juice in that NL lineup than Welchs and he embarrassed them.

Koufax won three pitcher's triple crowns in 4 seasons. Pedro did it once is in his career.
Koufax had a short career, but his accomplishments in terms of both statistics and awards will never be matched.

well, wins are pretty much a totally useless stat for a pitcher.

He also pitched 4 no-hitters, including a perfect game, in less than 4 seasons. Has anyone else come close to a better peak?

again, i don't have a certain answer, but that does nothing to convince me. nolan ryan threw a ton of no hitters and he is assuredly not the greatest pitcher ever.

Not a big baseball fan, but I do know that Randy Johnson in his prime was one of the most dominating pitchers I've watched.

Pedro > Koufax.

His 1995 season is my favorite to use on WhatIfSports.

Damn, you burned me good.

All i have to say for Pedro is in 1999: 13.20 K/9, 1.56 BB/9
Koufax has some great seasons, but he never came that close to matching that. Plus Pedro played in a much worse pitcher's environment (I would assume at least, I haven't researched this.)

2.5 minutes of googling would answer sufficient research.
Koufax pitched in Dead Ball 2.0.
Pedro pitched in hitter-friendly Fenway in the most prolific offensive period in baseball history.

I would like to take your word for it, but I will wait for the chimp to confirm.

What about K's per game? Walks per game?
Genuinely curious.

If Koufax's era of hitting was so bad, and that discredits his amazing statistics, wouldn't there have been other pitchers at that time doing similar things? He was still head and shoulders above everyone else.

This thread derailed and missed a valuable point: Maddux > Pedro

have spoken with many people in the game who were around for both eras and it's been nearly unanimous that what Pedro did was more impressive.
It's not a slight on Koufax at all. It's just simply taking the state of the game in their respective eras into consideration.
I cannot even imagine how difficult it was to pitch in Fenway during the steroid era. It's a nightmare as is.
