Career Leaders for Games Started

It's impossible to lead at any statistic if you are not given the opportunity to pitch. The following pitchers have been given those chances and they have proven their effectiveness to their managers. A fair chance at winning is what each of these all time games started leaders give the team when they step on the rubber at the beginning of every game.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time career leaders in Major League games started. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"Four starting pitchers and one relief man ought to be enough." - Hall of Fame Pitcher Cy Young (#1 Ranked Games Started Leader)

Current Through 2013 Season


Changes in 2005 include; Roger Clemens climbing from thirteenth to tenth, Greg Maddux climbing from eighteenth to fourteenth, Tom Glavine climbing from twenty-second to nineteenth, Randy Johnson climbing from fifty-fourth to thirty-eighth, Jaime Moyer climbing from seventy-first to forty-eighth, Kevin Brown climbing from sixty-fourth to fifty-sixth, and David Wells & Mike Mussina breaking into the top eighty career leaders for games started.

Did you know that Tom Seaver has started more Opening Day games than any other pitcher in Major League history? The Hall of Fame hurler finished with sixteen (16) Opening Day starts.

An odd pair: Will White, who is not in the top one-hundred, and Pud Galvin, who is ranked ninth all-time, both hold the Major League record for games started during a single season.
