John Smoltz was one of the greatest Major League pitchers of the late twentieth / early twenty-first century—one of only two in baseball history ever to achieve twenty wins and fifty saves in single seasons—and now he shares the candid, no-holds-barred story of his life, his career, and the game he loves in Starting and Closing.
A Cy Young Award-winner, future Baseball Hall of Famer, and currently a broadcaster for his former team, the Atlanta Braves, Smoltz  delivers a powerful memoir with the kind of fascinating insight into game that made Moneyball a runaway bestseller, plus a heartfelt and truly inspiring faith and religious conviction, similar to what illuminates each page of Tim Tebow’s smash hit memoir, Through My Eyes.

  • Author: John Smoltz, Don Yaeger
  • Paperback: 304 pages

Player Biography
During a career that saw him go from starter to reliever and back to the rotation again, John Smoltz won 213 games and saved 154 more, becoming the first pitcher in history with at least 200 wins and 150 saves. An eight-time All-Star Game selection, Smoltz won the 1996 National League Cy Young Award and led the NL in wins twice. As a relief pitcher, Smoltz established himself as a lockdown closer, saving at least 44 games in each of his three full seasons in the bullpen. A member of the 3,000-strikeout club, Smoltz became the first pitcher elected to the Hall of Fame who underwent Tommy John surgery during his career.
