A Maddux, in baseball statistics, is when a pitcher throws a shutout of nine or more innings with fewer than 100 pitches. Writer Jason Lukehart invented the statistic in 2012 and named it after his favorite baseball player, Greg Maddux.[1]

Thumb
Greg Maddux, the statistic's namesake, pitched 13 such games over a 22-season career in Major League Baseball.

As of April 2024, Maddux has the most career Madduxes with 13 since 1988, the first year of complete pitch count data.[2] Zane Smith has the second-most career Madduxes with 7, and shares the single-season record with Maddux, at 3 each.[1] Max Fried is the leader among active players, with 3 in his career.[2] The 1988 season had the most Madduxes with 25, while the COVID-pandemic-shortened 2020 season had none.[3] Roy Halladay is the only player to have thrown an extra-inning Maddux, throwing 99 pitches in 10 innings on September 6, 2003.[1]

Henderson Álvarez leads all pitchers with 4 Madduxes since the term was first coined by Lukehart in 2012.[4]
