If New York Mets starter Justin Verlander retired before the start of the 2023 MLB season, he would be a Hall of Famer. At this point in his career, Verlander, 40, is still suiting up for two reasons: To win another ring and to cross a few more milestones off his lengthy list of career accomplishments.
Verlander managed to do the latter during Wednesday's start against the Cincinnati Reds. Verlander threw 7 strong innings against Cincinnati, giving up just 1 run on 2 hits. He issued 2 walks, struck out 7 and picked up the win.
Being a member of this exclusive club doesn't guarantee a player will make the Hall of Fame. Verlander is a lock and Cole is well on his way, but other players who did it, such as Javier Vazquez and Woody Williams, didn't come close. Cole and Verlander make up 2 of the 4 active pitchers to have beaten all 30 MLB teams. Kansas City Royals starter Zack Greinke did it in 2019. Greinke was with the Houston Astros at the time, and notched a win against the Royals to accomplish the feat. Max Scherzer is the only other active pitcher with wins against every MLB team. He managed it in 2016, when he beat his former club, the Detroit Tigers.
