American Hall of Famer whose 363 career wins, eight 20-win seasons and the most victories by a left-handed pitcher in history established him as one of the most durable and accomplished starting pitchers ever.
Warren Spahn was the greatest left-handed pitcher of all time until Sandy Koufax, winning 363 games — a record for left-handers — across a 21-year career. The 1957 Cy Young Award winner used exceptional movement, intelligence, and remarkable durability to dominate hitters across four decades. Remarkably, he lost four prime years to World War II military service and still won more games than any pitcher after his debut.
