He knew how to mix pitches and speeds with the best of them. True definition of a pitcher. Not to mention he feilded his position amazingly. Pitchers’ defensive abilities are often grossly underlooked. But once a pitcher lets go of the ball he becomes just as much of one of the nine feilders as any other position. I know the gold glove award has its flaws but he won seven times. He only commited 15 errors over 18 seasons. And even though the defensive metrics were not around for his younger more athletic years, DRS has him saving 13 runs in his 34-39 yr seasons. I know defense doesn’t get you into the Hall, I think that it is an extremely underrated part of his career.
