Rudolph Was Right Practically every fact you can pick up proves that Dick Rudolph had the answer. We have seen most of the great pitchers of baseball. In this list you'd have to include Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Grover Alexander, Carl Hubbell and Bob Feller. Old Cy was always good for better than 300 innings. Walter Johnson In his hest years averaged around 370 innings. Alexander and Mathewsea averaged around 360 innings. In his two best years, 1915 and 1916, Alexander worked 376 and 389 innings.
