That is some career! I have seen 4-5 Cy's in a career, but not for an entire career like that.

Oh yeah, field of dreams. I didn't like how the commish of that world ran roughshod over everyone else, so I lasted only one season.

The Great Jimmy Powell!

MikeT23 isn't here anymore, so I'm lighting a candle in his name... Powell isn't quite as good as Martinez, fwiw.

Powell did a very poor job as my rookie league pitching coach this season.

Player Profile: Yuniesky Delgado only has 7 CY awards but those can sometimes be relative to the quality of the league over time, but he's on his way to 4000-4000 and going to get 300 wins before 100 losses, with almost has as good of OAV and ERA

Player Profile: Zip Stetter is similarly a killer and has 9 CY to show for it. But neither of them are as good as Martinez

Not counting defunct worlds, there are only a dozen guys who have logged 400 wins.

There are a handful that may rival Martinez

Julio Aguilera from BBWAA 418 Wins/ 5235 Ks/ .209 BAA /5607 ip/ 11 CY awards/ 3 no hitters

Deivi Elcano from DiMaggio 410 Wins/ 5553 Ks/ .213 BAA/ 6125 ip/ 11 CY awards/ 2 no hitters

Walker Mays from Hornsby 411 W/ 4759 ks/ .203 BAA/ 4594 ip / 7 CY awards/ 6 WS rings

Del Tanaka from Hornsby 414 W/ 3379 Ks/ .197 BAA/ 4489 ip / 15 CY awards/ 10 WS rings

Albie Siqueiros from Ryan 459 Wins/ 2939 Ks/ .187 BAA/ 2951 ip/ 9 CY awards/ 10 WS rings

and IMO the best ever:
Luis Rodriguez from Cool Papa Bell 472 Wins/ 5224 Ks/ .185 BAA/ 5243 ip /14 CY awards/ 7 WS rings/ 3 no hitters including one perfect game.

That guy is pretty freaking amazing as well.
19-6 with a 0.96 WHIP at age 40.
And he plays in a neutral park, I was expecting Tacoma or something.

The best in Capra, ever, was Junior Hernandez: https://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=3916610
, RHP, 8 Cys, 315-129, 1.03 WHIP, 2.42 ERA.

At his peak his numbers were 86 Control, 91-90 Splits, 99-85 Velo/GB, 90-69 P1-2

So how do those numbers compare to some of the guys above? How many guys have ever been 90+ in both splits, Velo and P1?
