Dominican Hall of Famer and the National League's finest pitcher of the 1960s, whose high kick delivery, exceptional control and 243 career victories with the San Francisco Giants earned him the nickname 'The Dominican Dandy'.
Juan Marichal was the San Francisco Giants' legendary right-hander, known for his extraordinarily high leg kick and exceptional pitching variety. His combination of multiple arm angles, exceptional control, and devastating off-speed pitches produced eight 20-win seasons. Despite pitching at the same time as Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson, Marichal's career statistics compare favourably with either, and he is considered one of the finest starting pitchers in baseball history.
