Baseball statistic
Greg Maddux , for whom the statistic is named, pitched 13 such games over a 22-season career in Major League Baseball.
A Maddux , in baseball statistics , is when a pitcher throws a shutout of nine or more innings with fewer than 100 pitches. Writer Jason Lukehart invented the statistic in 2012 and named it after his favorite baseball player, Greg Maddux .[1] As of April 2024 , Greg Maddux has the most career Madduxes with 13 since 1988, the first year of complete pitch count data.[2] Zane Smith has the second-most career Madduxes, seven, and shares the single-season record for Madduxes with Greg Maddux, three each.[1] Max Fried is the leader among active players, with four.[2] The 1988 season had the most Madduxes with 25, while the COVID-pandemic-shortened 2020 season had none.[3] Roy Halladay is the only player to have thrown an extra-inning Maddux, throwing 99 pitches in 10 innings on September 6, 2003.[1]
Since Lukehart coined the term in 2012,
Henderson Álvarez (left) and
Max Fried (right) are tied with the most Madduxes with four apiece as of May 2024
