Sandy Koufax had arguably the most INSANE prime of any pitcher in baseball history. With an explosive fastball, devastating curveball, and flawless pitching motion, Koufax was a dominant force on the mound during the 1960s. His opponents knew what pitches were coming, but the high velocity and pinpoint command made Sandy practically unhittable. Baseball legend Ernie Banks said that Koufax was the greatest pitcher he ever faced. When the Dodgers needed him most, Koufax was remarkable, especially in the World Series. The historic peak earned him the nickname “The Left Arm of God,” and his early retirement led to him accomplishing what no other Hall of Famer has.
