He is most famous for his windup, where he was able to mask the type of pitch until it was thrown.

He, along with Sandy Koufax, was the only Major League pitchers from 1946 to present to achieve more than one season of 25 wins or more. Although he won more games during the 1960s than any other Major League pitcher, Marichal was never voted for the CY Young Award until 1970. He earned a spot in the top 10 in innings pitched eight times, top 10 in strikeouts six times, the top 10 ERA seven years in a row, and top 10 in complete games ten times. Throughout his career, he had 2,303 strikeouts and only 709 walks. Marichal is also known for an incident that occurred in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1965. During the third inning, one of Dodger catcher Johnny Roseboro’s return throw grazed Marichal’s ear.

Marichal was kicked off the team, suspended for eight days, fined $1,750, could not attend the Giants’ final series with the Dodgers. But eventually Marichal and Roseboro became close friends and even autographed photos of
