Bob Tewksbury Biography

Bob Tewksbury is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on November 30, 1960 in Concord, New Hampshire, United States. Bob Tewksbury has the lowest percentage of base-on-balls per innings pitched of any pitcher who has started pitching for the Major Leagues after the 1920s. It is also the lowest ratio of any pitcher who has pitched in the past era, with the exception of Deacon Phillippe, Babe Adams, Dan Quisenberry, and Addie Joss.

In 1992, Tewksbury had only 20 batters walked in 233 innings, which is the highest ratio of the major leagues for more than fifty years. The following season Tewksbury was close to finishing this season by winning more games than the number of bases allowed, a feat that was only achieved four times by three different pitchers throughout MLB history. He scored 17 wins and just 18 walks permitted late in the season, but only allowed one walk during his final two games and failed to get any wins in either of them finishing this season winning 17 times and 20 walks.

In 1997, the ever-crafty Tewksbury threw an Eephus pitch, joining an elite few who have thrown the “junkiest pitch in baseball.” He threw it to power-hitter Mark McGwire in an interleague play game at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and McGwire grounded out on the pitch – twice. Tewksbury’s son, Griffin, has been quoted as calling this pitch “The Dominator.”

Tewksbury was inducted into the Saint Leo Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.
