Zack Greinke Stats

Zack Greinke was born on Friday, October 21, 1983, in Orlando, Florida. Greinke was 20 years old when he broke into the big leagues on May 22, 2004, with the Kansas City Royals. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Zack Greinke baseball stats page.
"Five years later, so much has changed. Zack Greinke has been a phenom, and he has been a bust. He has walked away from baseball, and he has come back. He has been a starter and a reliever, a genius and a flake, and even now he's still only 25 years old. And, for the moment, Greinke is the best pitcher in baseball." - Joe Posnanski In Sports Illustrated (05/04/2009, 'Zack Greinke is in Total Control')

In 2009 , Zack Greinke finished the season with a Major League low 2.16 ERA [ ERA Champions ], winning The Sporting News Pitcher of the Year Award , the Players Choice Outstanding Pitcher of the Year Award , and the Cy Young Award - the third Kansas City Royals twirler to win a Cy Young (joining Bret Saberhagen and David Cone ), and the only recipient with a 200-strikeout campaign during their Cy Young season!

Did you know that when Zack Greinke mowed down 201 batters two years after (in 2011 ) winning his Cy Young , he was only the third right-handed Milwaukee Brewers pitcher in franchise history to record a 200-strikeout season, matching the plateau reached previously by Ben Sheets (264 strikeouts in 2004) and Yovani Gallardo (204 strikeouts in 2009 & 200 strikeouts in 2010)?

Did you know that during the previous ten year period (2005-2015), Zack Greinke had five 200-strikeout seasons, tied for second most during that decade with Justin Verlander ? Do you know who the only pitcher is that had more 200-strikeout seasons during that timeframe (6x)? [ Answer ]

Zack Greinke had six consecutive scoreless starts in 2015, tying a National League record set previously by Orel Hershiser and Don Drysdale . During that streak, Greinke had 45.2 consecutive scoreless innings , the sixth longest streak in baseball history! [ Innings Pitched Records ]
