He throws again, the gun goes to 101. If this post has taught me anything, it’s that Moyer will make a comeback as a decent announcer next season, then after a few seasons of being just alright, he’ll go to Seattle and really hit his announcing stride. That is awesome. Build your custom FanSided Daily email newsletter with news and analysis on All MLB and all your favorite sports teams, TV shows, and more. ;-). SEATTLE, WA – AUGUST 08: Former Seattle Mariners pitcher Jamie Moyer throws out the ceremonial first pitch following ceremonies inducting him into the Seattle Mariners’ Hall of Fame prior to the game against the Texas Rangers at Safeco Field on August 8, 2015 in Seattle, Washington. But he averaged 2 WAR a season for the entirety of his career, and his 50 career bWAR is nearly 24 WAR less than the average Hall of Fame pitcher. Here is a player worth keeping an eye on, but there’s one guy who could extend a Hall of Fame voting streak that stretches back 30 years. Two seasons later, he’d go 21-7, and make his only All-Star appearance. Moyer, who finished with a 269-209 record and a 4.25 ERA, ranks 16th all-time in games started (638) and 35th in victories. When he resurfaced with Baltimore in 1993, Moyer was 30 years old, hitting the exit years on most players’ physical prime, but had clearly managed to put the time in the bus leagues to good use. Coincidentally (as future historians will note), that was also the year that aliens from the Outer Rim planets came to Earth and decided body-swap one of their own with a journeyman major league fourth starter. https://t.co/FSee2RMBZM pic.twitter.com/sdcGIHYMMp, — Nathaniel Rakich (@baseballot) January 11, 2018. Longevity like that is a severely underrated skill in a player. After he resurfaced with the Orioles, he was a better-than-league-average pitcher for about 15 years, with some big years and some down ones. If Jamie Moyer's career was a human being, it'd have … Moyer’s best seasons (1996-2005) were his age 33-42 years. Some of these players will make the hall, some will not, and some will be gone after one year of voting. Moyer was awesome. USA TODAY Sports is counting down the top 24 candidates on the 2018 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, based on voting by our power rankings panel, which includes five Hall voters. He's a quintessential good guy and the sport would be better for more people like him hanging around. You have to pitch a lot to serve up that many gopher balls. Some of these players will make the hall, some will not, and some will be gone after one year of voting. The biggest strike against Moyer isn’t actually any one of his individual stats, it’s that he waited too long to get good. That lack of velocity, combined with an extremely easy, low-torque pitching motion, kept Old-Man Moyer remarkably healthy. I love Moyer. The mid-1970s had a sudden disappearance of one-vote guys in 1974, 1976, and 1977. The only other year with zero one-vote guys was 1987. But longevity in itself is a virtue, and Moyer deserves credit for the resilience and persistence that allowed him to perform for such a long time.
