Quick change

edit

I made a quick mention in the opening paragraph regarding his exceptional fastball, as most fans know him best for this reason. He routinely is at 100 MPH, and I have personally see him go as high as 102 (although it may have not been official JUGS radar gun, it is still impressive to see that number). -- Ubergenius 18:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

NLCS Playoffs

edit

Shouldn't we include something about his perfomance in the 2006 playoffs, ESPECIALLY what happened in the NLCS? I'm a huge Wagner fan, but ya gotta include the good with the bad.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.89.168 (talkcontribs)

Too Quick

edit

Whoever put Wagner as a Red Sox player before a deal was made with the Mets obviously doesn't know anything about waivers. The Mets don't have to trade him. They can pull him back and keep him on the major league roster. IMO, he will probably be dealt, but at least wait until it's official to change his wikipedia page.

A question

edit

Is there any reason why he did not also continue to pitch with his right hand? 86.45.53.76 (talk) 20:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Rare WHIP achievement

edit

while he was about 100 innings off to be in all the offical stats books Billy Wagner is one of the few pitchers to have a career WHIP below 1 (while playing for a long time in the league) and he was the first to do so since the early 1900s. This is quite rare. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/whip_career.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wagnebi02.shtml 158.135.170.193 (talk) 21:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sounds like WP:TRIVIA, unless there are reliable sources that discuss that in such a way that demonstrates WP:WEIGHT – Muboshgu (talk) 21:13, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Well it goes with the K/9 stat that is mentioned several times on the page and when they were talking about his HOF chances the WHIP was mentioned as it is very rare for a pitcher in 800+ IP to have a WHIP below 1 2601:2C4:C900:460:2022:3439:25F0:E33F (talk) 05:35, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
