In 2012, writer Jason Lukehart coined the term “Maddux,” which is now used when a pitcher delivers a complete game shutout in fewer than a hundred pitches; Maddux holds the record for the most times completing this feat (13) since pitch counts were first recorded in 1988. Zane Smith, who has seven such games, is the runner-up in this category.
