Player Biography
Richie Ashburn once likened Steve Carlton to an artist on the mound: βHe painted a ballgame. Stroke, stroke, stroke, and when he got through, it was a masterpiece.β Carlton was an intense competitor with a hard, biting slider that was complemented by a great fastball and curve. He ranks second on career lists for wins (329) and strikeouts (4,136) by a left-handed pitcher. In 1972, the first of four Cy Young Award-winning seasons, Carlton led the National League in wins (27), ERA (1.98), innings pitched (346) and strikeouts (310) β all for a last-place team that won only 59 games.
