American left-handed ace whose extraordinary 2014 World Series performance — seven scoreless innings of relief — produced one of the greatest postseason pitching displays in history and cemented his San Francisco Giants legacy.
Madison Bumgarner is the San Francisco Giants' most celebrated pitcher of the modern era, delivering one of the most dominant postseason pitching performances in baseball history during the 2014 playoffs. His heroic 2014 World Series — in which he won two games and saved a third with a five-inning relief appearance on two days' rest in Game 7 — is widely considered the finest individual postseason pitching performance ever.
