The greatest thing about Maddux is he never had an overpowering fastball that carries many of the pitchers today. Notice how when guys like Justin Verlander lose the speed on the fastball they all become mediocre pitchers because of how the relied on it. Maddux had a backdoor cutter that literally would move all the way across the plate like a thing of beauty. Watching him pitch was artistic in the same way watching Tony Gwynn hit was. He will forever be my favorite Brave and I still have his rookie card.

Yep, the awesome movement on Maddox's pitches is what separated him from the rest like Glavine who, while a solid pitcher, had very little movement on any of his pitches.
