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 Yankees fan in the 90’s/2000’s, he was the scariest pitcher (Schilling/Johnson duo was terrifying and I loved watching him pitch. Randy Johnson was the boogie man and he had so much aura.
@@ZaneSchlegelmilch Lol ok. Did either of those guys have prime Barry Bonds in their division? He is easily the best and most dominant LHP of all time.
It's always great to see a Randy Johnson video on RUclips. 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.
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. I'd Love to see Edgar Martinez Video as he's arguably The Best Designated Hitter of all-time!!
@@dustinwood7999for reference JV is 40 Nolan retired at 46 (I'm pretty sure both were 19 when they came up I could be wrong) JV is about 53% of the way to Nolan in terms of K's (he's 13th all time) and Johnson who is 2nd place is 85% of the strikeouts while pitching about the same amount of time. If he was a Stat Collector, boy was he good at it
another neat "stat he collected" is his 7 no hitters. If hes just a stat padder, how come no better pitchers have even come close to 7 no hitters?@@Theorpo
I remember when he had to get surgery. I was just a kid but I loved MLB and pretty much everyone was thinking his back issues were gonna ruin the rest of his career. Now to look back its crazy he did so much with as many injuries as he had.
"I was at the transformer game." - This viewer Randy won 4 straight Cy Young's with power and intimidation. Maddux won his on finesse and guile. Both are absolute legends.
Unit was better than Maddux. So was Clemens and Pedro. I love Maddog, I know his control was 2nd to none, but you aren't the best pitcher ever striking out 6.1 per 9. You gotta miss bats. He also played his entire career in the weaker hitting NL....and had an incredible defense behind him in ATL.
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.
Yeah I didn’t get the impression that he choked at all when looking at the box scores. He got absolutely nothing from his offense in that Padres NLDS dude had a sub 2 ERA if that’s choking then I guess we need to redefine that word 💀 😂
The Big Unit! nothing but high-velocity fastball & sliders with a wide sidearm delivery. Diamondbacks trade was the most valuable trade ever in baseball, 4 years 4 CY young awards and a World Series.
Just imagine if he started with the control he had in his prime. He'd probably be number 1 in strikeouts. He was definitely my favorite pitcher back in the late 90's early 2000's.
You have done such an amazing job covering the BIG UNIT.. thank you for your hard work. I'm so very grateful for the job you do. Keep up the hard work .... Thank you again ❤❤
I love all your videos. These are all the dudes I grew up watching. I don’t think although I could be wrong that you didn’t see these guys live but you are amazing. The research is great. Don’t stop
That’s very kind of you, thank you so much! I never watched any of these players but I’m an old soul. I love the ‘80s and ‘90s eras of baseball! Your support of the channel is much appreciated 🙌🏼
The pitching crop from that era, the guys I grew up watching, was amazing. Maddux, Unit, Pedro, Clemens, Glavine, Mussina, Smoltz, Schilling, K Brown, Cone. Just unreal starting pitching talent in the same era.
I respect the hell out of Mariano Rivera, but if there's a pitcher that deserved to be selected unanimously it was Randy. What he brought to the game over an actual entire baseball game is mind boggling.
Nah man if any pitcher deserved to get in unanimously into the hall of fame is definitely Mariano Rivera because he's without a doubt the best closer ever by alot. Mo Rivera is the best , greatest closer ever and its a fact that can't be argued and he's the only player in history that no other player has a case of being better than him at his position. For example: u can argue Pedro Martinez , Clemens , Maddox , Koufax and a few other pitchers where better than
I prefer my own "Unpossible Inning" to the "immaculate inning" where you hit two batters then on the first pitch of the third you turn a solo triple play.
Can we get a video on JR Richard? Dude was a monster and even though his career was cut short, he's one of the best pitchers that isn't often brought up.
@@Cam23 I just wanted to share I felt more connected to the time he threw over John Kruks head at the all star game and I never really drew the connection between Larry Walker and Johnson on the Expos til this video.
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.
Albert would make a great video, he's someone on my radar. And it's an honor to be apart of your routine haha that's awesome thank you for supporting the channel!
good pick - the big unit this guy was a monster on the mound. Historically, not many people can make the claim they dematerialized a bird. This dude and Maddux were even better then their numbers suggest carving through line ups during entire run of the steroid era.
I know people have issues with him, but Roger Clemens had a similarly awesome prime run during 1986 to 1998, age 23 to 35. 11 years on the RedSox and the 2 years up North. Very similar to Unit's. Roger deserves a prime video.
Randy randy man the randster mr dandy randy ranmeister, big time randy pants…. The goat…. My first World Series I remember watching was the diamond backs vs Yankees….. and it blew my mind how randy and Kurt both won their games and won the WS 4-3 That was my first World Series I remembered and saw how baseball works as far as pitching rotations. Half goat half amazing
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.
Here’s a link to a video I did a while back, it’s a bit different of a style to what I do now but hopefully this’ll do the trick! 😂 Delmon Young's Iconic Double (2014 ALCS) Baseball Storytime Episode 8 ruclips.net/video/Mz4Bc3P2aR8/видео.html
Once he stopped walking so many people, the combo of his velocity, the tilt on his slider, his height and his utter neutralization of left handed hitters made him one of the greatest pitching specimens ever. 6'10, threw 98mph from a 3/4 arm angle with that nasty slider....lefties had no shot...no shot.
Randy and Nolan are both the GOATS! Randy is underrated in my opinion! Next is Walter Johnson and then Koufax. Scherzer and Kershaw are both up there too.
Keep up the great work Cam.. Btw, on the " Historic Level" vodoes can you give a rough estimate on how many man hours it tkes to produce the final product?
Thank you! And to answer your question, it takes roughly 50-55 hours, as crazy as that sounds. Research typically takes a full day (sometimes more depending on the player). Making graphics and editing takes around 4-5 full days if I work all day.
@@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!
It's good to see Kevin Brown showing up a few times in this video. He's one of the most underrated pitchers, it'd be great to see a video highlighting his career. If it wasn't for Kevin Brown using steroids, he'd be one of the biggest snubs for the Hall of Fame.
I love randy. Always fun to watch. The most amazing part of his career was hitters knew what was coming as he always tipped his pitches. They still couldn't hit him.😂😂😂
I think that nobody ever considers he retired before the Giants 2010 run because he was absolutely done. But he could have maybe reunited with Griffey in Seattle maybe thats just fan fiction but he could have also made his career span 4 separate decades with Vizquel, Moyer and Griffey
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
I know everyone says this about Randy but dude is like half way to home plate before he even releases the ball. How are you supposed to pick up pitch type with that little reaction time? Id just grab my nuts and pray.
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
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.
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%.
Lefty? Heck he’s the best pitcher of all time! Nobody better than him.
Steve carlton is much better and Warren Spain is also better

Dude throws a no hitter at the age of 40! The Big Unit ranks only behind Nolan Ryan in career strikeouts. Another Great Video!
The Big Unit’s run of dominance is hard to believe 😳 I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
And he did all of this while tipping his pitches the whole time. Dude was unreal.
He should have won that cy young. The stat line shows it. Better era, win percentage, and a save!
2004? Yes, Unit had a better year than Roger. The writers, of course, favored win totals and team success.
@@dukedematteo1995 Favoring team success for a player that plays 20% or less of the games is asinine.

Yeah, crazy to think that if they managed to keep Randy and Junior for 2001, they probably could have gotten past the Yankees.
Do a video on the only guy ahead of him in K's, Nolan Ryan. His Longevity is insane and Randy is the only one close to that production after 35

Welcome, and enjoy the game, there’s 147 years of MLB history for you to enjoy 👍👍
If you’re learning about baseball, The Big Unit is the perfect place to start in terms of all time great pitchers! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🤙🏼

Randy Johnson is my favorite of all time player.
I wonder if you could do Pedro Martinez since you did Randy Johnson
You forgot a little funny thing. He's now a photographer as you mentioned, but you failed to mention his logo: A dead bird
I saw Randy’s prime, experienced it I should say, in Seattle. As amazing as he was in the emerald city, he was even better in Arizona. What a career!
To think that he saved his best act for last is incredible!
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.

Absolutely incredible career, now id love to see a video on one of the only guys to be at or above his level during that time, Roger Clemens
I was at that perfect game as a young Braves fan and I was in awe at what I saw. It was honor to see the dominance in person.
My all time favorite. Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Imagine if Seattle kept them all Griffey randy and Arod. Not sure if it was possible, but an all time Seattle team could compete with any other
Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Ichiro.
I know people have issues with him, but Roger Clemens had a similarly awesome prime run during 1986 to 1998, age 23 to 35. 11 years on the RedSox and the 2 years up North.
Very similar to Unit's.
Roger deserves a prime video.
Randy Johnson was someone I always traded for in MVP Baseball 2004
It feels like Randy was extracted from a video game! Unreal talent, I used to love using his card in The Show back when I played.

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.
his years in Arizona were as good it gets and I`m a huge Koufax fan
Awesome video as always, and I think the Professor would make a great follow up.
Randy Johnson is the most dominant lefty pitcher in baseball history!! Period.
a pitcher running to see if the guy he just nailed is ok? That's class you can't teach and for whatever reason no one does it these days...

Agree, Bo Jackson was so awesome, I think if he only played baseball he would rank among the best if he had a full career.
When Randy got Mr Slappy under control, he became damn near unstoppable.

I really enjoy these videos. Please do one on Albert Pujols please please please and please. Hahah😊
Also I wouldn't mind Carlos Delgado
So Nolan Ryan created monster XD
On this date, 20 years ago, The Big Unit hit his one and only career home run
Look at that crazy arm Angle, these guys these days could not hit him I bet.
Roberto Clemente
Watching a randy Johnson start at bank one ballpark in the early 00’s meant you were gonna see something special.
I love randy. Always fun to watch. The most amazing part of his career was hitters knew what was coming as he always tipped his pitches. They still couldn't hit him.😂😂😂
I had the pleasure of watching him pitch with the mariners. Great pitcher.
I think that nobody ever considers he retired before the Giants 2010 run because he was absolutely done. But he could have maybe reunited with Griffey in Seattle maybe thats just fan fiction but he could have also made his career span 4 separate decades with Vizquel, Moyer and Griffey
4:17 this shows how such a great person randy was. Checking to see if his opponent is okay
I agree. What amazes me is how rare it is to see pitchers do that!
Anyone else wonder why at 5:38 dude was arguing with the ump about a pitch right down the middle
is Randy the last dominant workhorse starting Pitcher? like not just good but elite and arguably in the starting rotation of MLB's all time team?
Cal Ripken. Or Greg Maddox
Cal would be lit
Maddux not maddox
I know you've done a player from both the Mets and the Twins, but you need to make a video on Johan Santana. That dude was a dawg during his prime.
Randy was huge for those Mariners teams
Can you do Roberto Alomar
Cal Ripken pudge Rodriguez Derek Jeter Greg Maddux
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
I saw a game on television where he was throwing 100+ mph in the ninth inning.
Great video! Subbed
Thank you!
I know everyone says this about Randy but dude is like half way to home plate before he even releases the ball. How are you supposed to pick up pitch type with that little reaction time? Id just grab my nuts and pray.
Can you do Dave Parker
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
Bert had 287 wins..and struck out the fifth most batters all time.....no Cy young award
He's got an interesting career, I'll definitely consider doing one on him in the future!
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.
Big unit was sick but Maddux should have 7 Cy Young awards.
