    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Super 70s Sports

    Hugely underrated pitcher. Spent age 24 in the Army, won 312 games age 28 on. 1974-79, age 35-40, averaged 7.9 WAR, 18 Wins, 309 IP, 18 CG, 125 ERA+. In 1982, when the Braves won the division by 1 vs LA, 2 vs SF, Niekro's only 2 shutouts were his last 2 starts, one of them vs SF.https://twitter.com/Super70sSports/status/1245370720487604225 …

        I did a project some years back on starting pitcher workloads relative to their leagues. Only 4 other great pitchers stood out against their contemporaries the way Niekro did: John Clarkson, Ed Walsh, Bob Feller, & Robin Roberts - Niekro in the late 70s most of all.

        I should go dig up the data and update that study. My methodology at the time was to compare innings thrown to those of each team's top 1-2-3-4 starters.

        Don’t forget his late brother, Joe Niekro...also a very accomplished pitcher!

        Can a hall of farmer who made exactly 2 post season appearances be considered under rated?

        His teams were frequently terrible. Even a guy throwing 340 innings a year can't do everything.

        The guy was 70 in 1982, and yet is 81 now? Was he born on Feb 29th?

        By my calculations Phil was 70 in 2009.

        Niekro looking like an old man for most of his career is the joke.
