The Southpaw. Jim "Kitty" Kaat - the Twin City Kitty with a lion's roar on the mound. When we talk about pitching consistency, that story is not complete without talking about Jim Kaat. Not only has Jim Kaat won 16 Gold Gloves, the 2nd most of any pitcher ever...he won 16 Gold Gloves in a row -- a record that has stood for 45 years and cannot be broken for AT LEAST another 13. I see you, Nolan Arenado.

If consistency is the peanut butter to Kaat's career, his durability is the jelly. During Kaat's career, he pitched a remarkable 25 years...one of the longest careers in the majors ever. He faced both Ted Williams and Darryl Strawberry. He threw to Larry Doby and to Ryne Sandberg. Even after a successful career as a top-notch starter, Kaat was able to transition to a successful reliever.

And consistency and durability can sometimes slip under the radar, but Kaat's career was finally recognized by the Hall of Fame with his election in 2022.

“Every time I look at these prints, I think of my father. If artists can channel their adversity into incredible works of art that we get to enjoy, then we should challenge ourselves to turn our struggles into something that can benefit others.”
