Long-time fans of the National Pastime have known Moyer’s name for more than 25 years. That’s because he’s been pitching in the bigs for all those years.

With his trademark three pitches – slow, slower, and slowest – the left-handed Moyer is a pinpoint specialist whose won-lost record actually got better as he got older – from his 20s to his 30s and into 40s. He’s only a few wins shy of 300 for his amazing career.
