Early control problems and terrible teams prevent Ryan from being the all time greatest But thats just statistics He's the greatest pitching marvel ever Comment from : Kevhead1 |

Big Tex! Comment from : Ghost of Tom Chode |

He was a better "pitcher" at age 40 than at 25 Comment from : bobzani |
|
JR Richard was in his class but had the health problems Comment from : Black Flag |
|
That overlay was fantastic! Thanks! Comment from : Chris Aultman |
|
I was 13 years old at game three of the 1969 World Series when Nolan Ryan came in to relieve Gary Gentry I’m still pissed at the Mets for trading him, he should’ve played his whole career here! Comment from : Donald Leider |

I'm 53 and I will say as of RIGHT NOW The Nolan Ryan Express was the BEST pitcher I have EVER seen No one even close Plus, he could beat your ass, just ask Robin Ventura 😂 Comment from : Dave Duncan |
|
What a pitcher should be, this is what Nolan was… Comment from : Jon Shannon |
|
Could we create a Nolan Ryan AI robot? Comment from : Louis Emery |
|
I saw him pitch when he was with Houston, you can't tell me that he is not the greatest pitcher who ever lived Comment from : Roy Doughty |

Iron balls legend Comment from : Dirt Roads (707) |

Back when baseball was Americas gameMLB has slit their own throat and is slowly dyeing Comment from : Dirt Roads (707) |
|
Poor robin a storied career washed away with an alpha reaction to foolish move worse than beat down Comment from : Bartolo Puglia |
|
Nolan Ryan had to have a pretty good curveball to go with that super intimidating fastball Let's not forget about Bert Bleyeven and his ultra-sharp curveball!!!!!! Comment from : Richard Peetrin Peetrin |

I once heard a story that was told to illustrate not just how hard he threw, but how incredibly competitive he was I will have to refer to the batter as just “the batter” because I have forgotten who he was brbrSo Ryan nails him in the ribs first pitch and the guy goes down into the dirt and is in obvious pain, but one of most baseball players little unwritten rules is that you don’t show how much it hurts So the batter hops up and trots down to first with his free base on balls and when he gets there, he yells over to Ryan “Hey Ryan, my daddy hits me harder than that”brbrHe seriously underestimated Ryan’s competition spirit brbrThe next time the batter comes up, Ryan reaches back and fires one of his 100 mph heaters, AND HITS THE BATTER IN EXACTLY THE SPOT AS THE FIRST PITCH!” 😂😂😂brbrSo this time the batter is down in the dirt for a bit rolling around in serious pain After getting checked out by the trainer and given the ok, he heads down to first base with his free, if not hard earned, passbrbrWhile he’s standing there, Ryan looks over at him and dryly asks…”Your daddy ever hit you that hard?”br😈😈😈brbrPeople always said he came across as this quiet, polite old country gent, but everyone who knew him said there was a unequaled competitive fire in him Comment from : John B |
|
He would have pitched longer if it were not for his ailing back! Amazing arm! Tree trunk upper legs! Comment from : George Psomos |
|
He was phenomenal however he also would sometimes walk 7 or 8 players per game and gave up his share of long balls His ERA in any one season was rarely much better than slightly better than average, In 20+ years he maybe had 5 excellent seasons when it came to ERA and win percentage Comment from : Roy Piper |
|
He'd have regretted it had Jim Rice charged the mound instead of Robin Ventura Ryan was a great pitcher but I'm not a fan of "intimidation"should batters accidentally let the bat slip out of their hands and fly toward the mound to "intimidate" pitchers? Just a thought Comment from : William Fowler |
|
He had that many strikeouts in an era of hit & run and contact His control improved so much, he led the majors in SO/W at age 40 If he isn't the best pitcher ever, he certainly had the best career Randy Johnson a close second for me Comment from : ztoxtube |
|
With the proliferation of pitch counters in today's game, Ryan's records for no-hitters & strikeouts looks to be Untouchable! Even w/modern pitching science & advanced medical techniques, Ryan's "old skool" off-season regimen stands the test of time!All Hail, Ryan's Express! Comment from : Harry Miram |
|
If had control the first seven years of his career, INDUBITABLY no one would ever question who the greatest of all-time is Comment from : Mrvinn19 |
|
I've always been an Orioles fan, but Nolan Ryan was my favorite pitcher When he retired I switched to Greg Maddux Comment from : Gordon |
|
I've seen a LOT of people say that Nolan Ryan isn't the greatest pitcher ever They talk about his W-L record, his status as all-time leaders in walks, and so forthbrThere are some worthwhile arguments against his possible GOAT status, for surebrHe's still my favorite pitcher of all time, however and no naysayer statistics are ever going to change my mind Comment from : enutrofdude |
|
If you ever met Nolan Ryan in person, he was humble, respectful and had a light hearted jovial demeanor Absolutely a class act, eventhough he was a legend Always stayed in top shaped even to this moment But you push the wrong button, you'd quickly regret!!! 😅 Comment from : Mon T |
|
Nolan Ryan is the GOAT of pitching as much as Jordan is the GOAT of basketball! Comment from : DouglasI |
|
Tommy Lasorda said, "Others will throw harder but no one will ever throw hard LONGER (Ryan's last major league pitch, hurled against the Seattle Mariners was officially measured at 983 mph!) 😮 Comment from : Roy |
|
His fastball was amazing, but that curveball was nasty… Make you look totally stupid when thinking about that fastball I bet a lot of hitters would rather stay on the bench and take a strike out, if given the option Comment from : Ricky Allen |
|
And he was still throwing 180 mph when he turned 70 years old Comment from : Berndt Herrenvolk |
|
This is why Texas Ranger strikeouts are called Nolan Ryan Strikeouts! Comment from : Irenee Shubert |
|
His windup was beautiful too Comment from : SwampOperator |
|
That overlay you did was excellent Really shows the movement Comment from : SwampOperator |
|
Ryan beaned Ventura five times in one at-bat Once in the arm, and four times in the face Comment from : Jake Stine |
|
A Nolan Ryan with control would’ve shattered any pitching statistic ever conceived Comment from : Matthew Dixon |
|

|
I knew when the word savage was in the title that the Robin Ventura video would pop up Comment from : George Riley |
|
So who was more intimidating, Ryan or Gibson? Comment from : Tim Leahy |
|
I just wonder how hard Nolan Ryan laughs when contemporary pitchers get pulled out after throwing just 90 pitches Comment from : Erick R |
|
There will never be another pitcher like Nolan 51 MLB records And most will likely never be broken 5,714 strikeouts 7 no hitters Good luck topping those! Comment from : Hans Enfiet |
|
The man was a pitching God brHe didn't just strike you out he would make you look like a fool Comment from : MrHulltech2 |
|
The overlay was awesome Comment from : Mondavou |
|
Nolan Ryans fastball/curve combination is about as unfair as it gets He also had a circle change he would drop in that was pretty great Comment from : Leonard |
|
Legend Comment from : IAM AQUASTONETHRONE |
|
The man had extreme work ethic and determination that is unmatched I watched him warm up before a game by throwing ropes from third base line to centerfold There will never be another like him Comment from : Richard Pickett |
|
This is how it feels in the batters box at my baseball games I'm a pitcher, so I know how easy it can be to miss and hit someone Never was a good hitter I'd be a 40 OVR in The Show because of my hitting😅 Comment from : Greg |
|
If Robin ventura would not have been grabbed by pudge he would have been able to equal things out Comment from : shane Foster |

I had an entire section of my card book dedicated to Ryan as a kid He was the only player that ever had a dedicated section for me I was the type to go to the card shop and trade 100 cards for 1 Ryan card if thats what it took Sadly, I have none of that stuff anymore Comment from : Dr Cryptox |

Also worth mentioning that it was Ryan who helped Randy Johnson turn the corner and become a HoF level pitcher Comment from : Timothy Ratliff |
|
I saw Nolan Ryan pitch against the Twins at the Metrodome on Aug 11, 1992 He gave up two runs through six innings with seven strikeouts in a 3-2 Rangers loss Comment from : Dizbang |
|
You wonder how many guys Ryan would have hit if he had played in the NL where he would have had to bat instead of the AL with the DH? He knew the other team couldn’t retaliate I would have loved to see a pitcher on the opposing team stick one in Nolan’s ribs and see if he was still as aggressive Comment from : George Southwick |
|
What is especially amazing is he was so successful playing basically his entire career on bad teams Comment from : George Southwick |
|
Nolan Ryan said the only batter he feared was Jack Clark (That’s because Jack could pull a bullet) Comment from : Der Glaetze |
|
A bit overrated as a pitcher He's outside the top 15, but still great But, I met him once Never met a more genuine person in my life Relaxed, made conversation, didn't rush us Really good dude Comment from : Ken Mills |
|
He not only strikes them out He punched you out Comment from : Up2NoGood |
|
Robin Ventura, the only batter to collect 6 hit from Nolan Ryan in a single game Comment from : david dee |
|
I don't remember who the pitcher was, but the worst knee buckle I ever saw was against Dave Winfield Someone through a sweeping curve and he ended up diving out and finished the at bat lying on his backbrbrIt was a called strike Comment from : nacoran |
|
Complete bs he never won a cy young award Comment from : PJ |
|
Sports Illustrated pumped up Ryan So, we liked him until our teams had to play him Turns out he is mostly azzholieo but, the Stranger Rangers loved him Made him the god of ranger baseball Had a bunch of great "sick days" sitting in the cheap seats getting a tan at Ranger stadium Never liked the teams much It is still baseball and all I had Comment from : Larry Lund |
|
Ryan knew that his fastball was capable of killing someone He also knew that batters knew that he knew Trying to hit when you know the pitcher can kill you changes the entire dynamic no matter how good a hitter you are He could also kick your behind Just ask Robin Ventura Comment from : Gary Gemmell |
|
You're thinking about Gibson or Feller or Marichal Comment from : Scott L |
|

|
One of the top five if not the top three best pictures ever to play the game Comment from : Matthew Behne |
|
I believe I have this correct Let me know if I am wrong When Ryan started pitching in the majors, they said he wouldn't last 5 years because he threw heat When he was still throwing heat at 40 years old, I think they had to reconsider I lived in Houston when he pitched there He was awesome I'm in ATL now and loved watching Maddux for a different reason He was all about magical control By the 6th inning, the plate was about 4 inches wider than at the start of the game They are my two favorite pitchers of all time Comment from : William Street |
|
Right after every game he would ride 45min on a stationary bike with a big ice bag on his pitching shoulderChamps like him never had an off season they always stayed in shape Comment from : matt howard |
