How to play
- Name the 25 pitchers with the most career MLB pitching wins, regular season only.
- Type them in any order. The clock starts when you tap the box or type. A name counts the moment it’s complete, no need to press Enter. A last name of four letters or more is enough, and one that players on the list share credits all of them.
- Stuck? Hint tells you something about the next one you’re missing, and costs 15 seconds, off the clock and onto your time. Finish ends the round early.
- Your best result goes on the quiz’s all-time leaderboard: most named, then fastest. Play as often as you like.
About this list
Career totals as of October 21, 2026. Career totals from the Lahman Baseball Database (CC BY-SA) and MLB's stats for the recent seasons. Like Lahman, they count the 1871–75 National Association; the Negro Leagues statistics MLB added to its records in 2024 aren't included.
On this list
It takes 297 to make this list: that's the total in last place, and the leader has about 72% more.
The 25 pitchers began their careers between 1871 and 1988. More of them started in the 1960s than in any other decade (6), and their careers ran 20.0 seasons on average, first season to last.
None of them has played in the 2020s, and 15 had retired before 1970.
The closest two places on the list are #6 and #7, 1 apart; the widest gap is 94, between #1 and #2. 3 places are shared by tied totals.
The top five average 408, and the bottom five 301.
Nobody on it has played a season since 2024, so these places only change when someone new climbs in.
Their careers ran from 12 to 28 seasons, first to last. Spread over those seasons, the fastest pace on the list is 25.8 a season (#19) and the slowest 11.6 (#14).
By the decade they started: 1870s (2), 1880s (4), 1890s (2), 1900s (3), 1910s (1), 1920s (1), 1930s (1), 1940s (1), 1960s (6), 1980s (4).
