Bob Buhl Statistics - Baseball-Reference
Bob Buhl died last Friday. He was a pitcher during the 50's and 60's with the Braves and later with the Cubs. He was a pretty good one at that. He won 166 games and posted a 3.55 ERA to a league average 3.66.
I'm almost thirty years old, so I wasn't even born when he pitched, but the similarity scores equate him with some pitchers we now consider good or very good but not great: Dave Stieb, Rick Sutcliffe, Dave Stewart, Bob Forsch and Rick Rhoden.
Buhl was awful at the plate with a .089/.129/.091 career line. He had 70 hitless at bats in 1962 and many other seasons with a sub .100 batting average.
