Sandy Koufax 3

First of all,few pitchers should be on this list as they are mostly a position player and only encompass a facet of the game.Only those delivering feats beyond their contemporaries should be on this list.Sandy is one of these players.The only stats that are relevant concerning pitching is strikeouts,walks,home runs allowed and innings.Wins,e.r.a.,and losses are irrelevant.Technically no one has thrown a perfect game,in context of pitching that would be 27 strikeouts in a row.A pitcher's success relies on other players(catching flyballs,throwing out runners,scoring runs,etc...)A pitcher could strikeout no one and still have wins,a low e.r.a. and no losses and all be the result of other player contributions.So what we are left with is their domination of the hitter at the plate.Kofax dominated for the early/mid sixties but other pitchers rank higher and for longer therefore deserve a higher rating.
