Ubaldo Jimenez

Ubaldo Jimenez struck out 1,720 batters and retired in the top 50 in SO/9.  Jimenez did most of his work with the Colorado Rockies where he was an All-Star in 2010 and finished third in National League Cy Young voting based on his 19 and 8 record and 2.88 ERA.  Jimenez never had a season like that again and he had control issues where he walked a lot of batters and finished atop the league leaderboard in Wild Pitches twice.  He retired with 114 Wins.
Unlike many pitchers the decade before, Ubaldo Jimenez did his best work when he was wearing a Colorado Rockies jersey.  Jimenez’ best season saw him finish third in Cy Young voting and go to his only All-Star Game.  That season (2010) he went 19 and 8 with a 2.88 ERA.  He would win 15 Games the year before.  In the 138 Games he played in Colorado, he had a record of 56-45 and 773 Strikeouts.
