Dave Stieb #775

 

This week... Toronto Blue Jays legend Dave Stieb! Stieb was an All American outfielder for SIU Saluki Baseball. He only pitched 17 innings before the Jays drafted him. A 7x All Star, Stieb had the most Baseball Reference Wins Above Replacement  (48.1) of any pitcher in the 1980s and 2nd most Wins (140). He was with the Blue Jays from a 109 loss 1979 through to their first title in 1992. He had 4 near miss no-hitters before finally getting the first no-no in Blue Jays history!
