Fergie Jenkins portrait

Canada's first Hall of Fame member, Fergie Jenkins used pinpoint control and effectively changed speeds to win 284 games. Cast in the same mold as finesse artists like Catfish Hunter and Robin Roberts, Jenkins forged an impressive 3.34 ERA despite playing 12 of his 19 seasons in hitters' ballparks — Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. A diligent workhorse, Jenkins used an easy, uncomplicated motion to reach the 20-win mark seven times and capture the National League Cy Young Award in 1971.

Pin-point accuracy allowed Fergie Jenkins to retire as the ultimate control pitcher in the
game, establishing arguably the best finesse record in 128 years of organized
baseball. Jenkins walked fewer than two batters per nine innings for his 18-year and
35 day, major-league career. Fergie Jenkins is the only pitcher in history to record more
than 3,000 strike-outs (3,192), while giving up less than 1,000 walks (997).
