Randy Johnson, AKA The Big Unit, is one of the best pitchers in baseball history. He and Greg Maddux share a record that no other pitcher has approached! Randy’s high octane fastball, devastating slider, and 3/4 arm slot dominated hitters throughout his 22 year career. His imposing presence standing at 6 foot 10 rattled not just humans, but an unlucky bird as well. He has the second most Cy Youngs in baseball history, and led the league in ERA on 4 separate occasions. As he aged, he seemingly got better and better. Mid to late 30s Randy Johnson’s run of dominance is something that few pitchers can relate to.
Players relevant to the video: Greg Maddux, Vida Blue, Mark McGwire, Joe Kerrigan, Rick Williams, Tim Raines, Nolan Ryan, Jack McDowell, John Kruk, Larry Walker, Roger Clemens, Kevin Brown, Chan Ho Park, Pedro Martinez, Gaylord Perry, Roy Halladay, Curt Schilling, Max Scherzer, Sandy Koufax, Mariano Rivera, Luis Gonzalez

I worked for a home restoration company in Phoenix and Big Unit called us cuz he had a water leak at his house in Paradise Valley. Long story short we cleaned it up and he gave us private suite tickets with free food, drinks, baseballs, Dbacks hats, t shirts etc etc. RJ is the man. Best lefty of all time 100%.

As a Seattle Mariners Fan, I vaguely remember that 1st No-Hitter he threw for OUR Franchise. Reflecting back, I remember being glued to The ABC Coverage of that 1 game playoff in 1995 to give us OUR 1st ever Division Crown and man oh man vrings tears to my eyrs. I still own a sealed casette tape of the miraculous 1995 Seattle Mariners Season with Dave Neihouse's Voice doing play by play. I'm happy he went in as a Diamondbacks Player. Mariners front office traded him for dumb reasons but in the end we wouldn't have kept Johnson though and Amazing what he did! Excellent Video.

It's always great to see a Randy Johnson video on KZbin. I've been a die-hard fan of his since I had the good fortune of attending his 300th win. You've hit upon most of his career highlights, but I was surprised you didn't mention how Randy was so embarrassed by losing the 19-strikeout game in 1997 that he went out on August 8 and struck out 19 batters again, this time making sure he shut out the White Sox.

He's my favorite ever. Baseball, wrestling, actors, Randy Johnson is truly the purest hero a kid could have. I have such admiration and respect for him. And spoiler alert, his prime was literal insanity. Randy Johnson was the best pitcher during the era of juiced balls, steroids being used by guys who were already the best hitters, and he did the most dominant work while he played in the same division that claimed Colorado when everyone in their lineups were hitting 30 bombs and hitting over .300. The Big Unit is the greatest pitcher to ever throw a ball in baseball history. My nostalgia and rose tinted glasses makes it so my mind cannot be changed 😎🤣

Like, I love the strike out clips back to back too. Especially the ones against the Yankees in the 01 series. The way rightys back right knee buckles. I could watch Scott Brosious back leg jiggle all day. These are professional hitters, they track sliders for a living and they can't decide whether it's gonna hit them or usually catch them low and practically middle for a called 3rd. It's so fun to watch

This is why it used to drive me crazy when people would say Randy always choked come playoff time. Yeah, he had some bad outings but some people ignore he had some great outings and playoffs but got no run support. Wasn't until the Dbacks won the World Series, in which he was great again, that this finally went away and even some of his "bad" outings were 7 innings 3 run games.

I'm an old Mariners fan so I remember watching him before the control light went on and after. It was always there but walks and misses right down the plate shackled him until *poof* he became The Randy Johnson, one of the GOATs of the modern era. Ironic that Nolan Ryan pointed him down the path of not walking the world. Mariner Management at the time thought he was getting long in the tooth and traded him away for not all that much. He then proceeded to enter his prime. #MarinerMoments

I disagree. I think peak RJ was 1995 or 1997 Seattle. Back then, there was a noticable offensive talent gap between the leagues, (plus the DH difference) Quality pitchers often got better going AL to NL, and often experienced a dip in their numbers going from NL to AL. I do wonder if his 1999 to 2002 numbers would have been as outrageous if he stayed in the AL. I think they would still have been great, but not quite as mind boggling as his desert gunslinger years.

@@ousamaabdu794 It gets to be a lot at times, but I love doing it so it doesn't feel like work! It's fulfilling to give these players the attention they deserve and do so in an entertaining way. It always shocks me that there's not many "career bio" videos out there on YT for players such as Randy. I appreciate you for supporting the channel, if it wasn't for people like you, I wouldn't be able to do this in the first place!

I rank Randy Johnson as my 1 or 1A on my list of liveball era pitchers. He has one of, if not the best, the "long prime" runs of any liveball pitcher. I like judging all-time great pitchers by their best circa 3000 - 3500 innings (depending on era). Aka "long prime" It's usually about 11 to 14 seasons. I like this better than career numbers bc many alltime greats, like RJ, had mediocre years after their long prime when their skills have receded due to age/mileage and injuries. Unit's 1993 to 2005, 13 yrs, a little under 3000 innings is one of the most impressive runs in the liveball era. 89.3 WAR, avg of 214 IPs and 6.9 WAR per yr (241 IPs & 7.9 WAR based on a 162 game avg). 160 ERA+, 11.5 K/9. 2.77 FIP. 5 Cy Youngs. Only Roger Clemens circa 3000 inning run from 1986 thru 1998, (age 23 to 35) is basically equal to Unit's run. Also 5 Cy Youngs...155 ERA+, 2.76 FIP 96.3 WAR, 234 IPs and 7.4 WAR per yr. (250 IP & 7.9 WAR per 162). Unit struck far more guys out (11.5 per 9 to 8.7 per 9) but Roger was damn near impossible to take deep.

I feel as though Bert Blyleven needs a video. Don't think he won a Cy Young or 300 games but man he struck out a lot of batters. Herb Score had a short but amazing career for the Indians. Injuries led to a 5-7 year career but his numbers were great for that run

I noticed that nobody ever dared charge the mound... i wonder how many players peed their pants a little. I know that Kruk probably pooped his pants in that all star game. He played for the Indianapolis Indians AAA before he went to Montreal. My dad saw him pitch for Indy and said "There is a big bastard pitching for the Tribe, watch out for him in the future." He was so very right

This is what modern baseball needs to convince their hurlers they need to look like if they want multiple pitches at 100mph. Having guys hovering around 6’2 is not the body frame you want hurling 100 mph+ with movement. This is the recipe to rip that arm right off. Randy had that long whip, and he used it to launch 100mph with movement for nearly 20 years.
