He is 22 years old.
He is 6'6" and 220 lbs.
He is from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
He is Tommy Hanson. Hanson has been a top prospect for the Braves for a while now. He has control issues and needs to pitch smarter some times, but he has had four starts in the big leagues and has an impressive 3-0 record.
In his last three starts over 17 innings he has allowed just 2 earned runs and his last two wins he gave up nothing. No earned runs, as he shutout the Reds and the Yankees. What a great start for the future ace of the Braves. Maybe soon I will need to put Hanson on my list after all is has completed 1% of the needed wins.
On the other end of the spectrum is 45 year old Randy Johnson and 46 year old Jamie Moyer, they just keep on winning. Johnson picked up win #302 with a victory over the A's. I think Johnson could pitch for another 3 years, so is 350 wins out of the range of Johnson. He still looks great though he can only pitch 6-7 innings with 90 m.p.h. stuff.
Moyer pitched well enough to get win #251 with a victory over the Rays. He pitched 6 innings allowing just one run. How do they do it? I think it is because they know how to take care of their bodies and they are smart pitchers. They don't panic, they understand how hitters think and they mix up their stuff, different speeds, in and out and up and down. I don't think that Mayer will get to 300 wins because he would have to be pitching when he is 50.
What do you think will Johnson get to 350, can Moyer reach 300? If not how many wins do you think they will get?
