Hitting 300

September 10, 2007

Indians ace C.C. Sabathia hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last nine starts. But he won just three of those games, a reminder of why—regardless of how well a pitcher pitches—it's so difficult to win 300 games. Was Tom Glavine (left), who joined that club last month, the last of the 300-game winners? Check back around the year 2020, when some of today's young hurlers could be nearing the milestone. A look at the active wins leaders at ages 30 and younger as of July 1 shows that three pitchers, including Sabathia, are ahead of the pace Glavine set.
