All 27 Outs from his Perfect Game (5/18/2004): https://youtu.be/WlcpDVlsJjg
Randall David “Randy” Johnson (September 10, 1963-) established himself as one of baseball’s most dominant pitchers, playing for six different teams during a 22-year career and capturing five Cy Young Awards. The Montreal Expos drafted Johnson in the second round of the 1985 Major League Baseball Draft. He made his debut with the Expos (1988-1989), Seattle Mariners (1989-1998), Houston Astros (1998), Arizona Diamondbacks (1999-2004, 2007-2008), New York Yankees (2005-2006), and San Francisco Giants (2009). In 1992, Johnson struck out 18 batters in eight innings while throwing 160 pitches – a pitch count that has not been reached in a Major League game since. Nicknamed “The Big Unit,” Johnson was a 10-time All-Star and 2002 Triple Crown winner. Johnson finished his career with a 303-166 record, 3.29 ERA, and 4,875 strikeouts. He ranks first in strikeouts per nine innings pitched among starting pitchers (10.67), second all-time in total strikeouts (4,875; first among left-handed pitchers), third in hit batters (188), and tenth in fewest hits allowed per nine innings pitched (7.24). He pitched two no-hitters (1990, 2004), the second of which was the 17th perfect game in baseball history. Randy Johnson is only the second player in Major League history to win four consecutive Cy Young Awards (1999-2002). Greg Maddux was the first. Randy Johnson was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015.
