John Smoltz, P
Atlanta Braves (1988-1998), Philadelphia Phillies (1999-2006)

In a 19-year career with the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, John Smoltz was a premier starting pitcher and, for three seasons, a closer.
Smoltz went 230-182, 68 saves, 3,137 strikeouts and a 3.48 ERA. While he never won a Cy Young award (partially due to the dominance of Braves teammate Greg Maddux), Smoltz was named to nine All Star teams.

Smoltz' best seasons came in Atlanta, putting together a 143-111 record with the Braves while going 87-71 with Philadelphia. Smoltz won 15 games seven times in his career and posted an ERA below 3.30 seven times.
He retired following the 2006 season, at age 39, after going 19-12 with a 3.18 ERA and 205 strikeouts in 36 starts with the Phillies.
