[编辑] 生平

穆西納，綽號 "Moose"，畢業於史丹佛大學, where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity，1990年12月，earning a degree in economics in just three and a half years. He was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 1st round (20th pick overall) of the 1990年 amateur draft and in 1992年, his first full season with the Orioles, went 18-5 with a 2.54 防禦率. Mussina continued to post good numbers in Baltimore, featuring two back-to-back 19-win seasons in 1995年和1996年. 穆西納 helped the Orioles to the playoffs in 1996, where they eventually lost in the ALCS to the Yankees and again in 1997, where they lost in the ALCS to the -{克里夫蘭印地安人}-。 In Game 3 of that series against 克-{里}-夫蘭, Mussina set the ALCS record for strikeouts in a single game when he struck out fifteen Indians. (The record was later tied by the 紐約洋基的羅傑·克萊門斯 in Game 4 of the 2000年 ALCS against the 西雅圖水手.)

Following the 2000年球季，穆西納decided to leave the Orioles. Mussina signed with the 紐約洋基 on 2000年 11月30日，to a 6-year contract. Many Orioles fans saw the move as a failure to act on their hometown team's part. Many fans felt that Orioles management wrongly assumed 穆西納 would stay loyal to the team, despite being offered more money and being heavily courted by 洋基總教練. Contrary to popular belief, it was the 金鷹的refusal to include a "No Trade Clause" in his contract, rather than money, that forced a change in teams.

穆西納pitched well in his first season with the 洋基，posting a 17-11 record with a 3.15 ERA. In the postseason, Mussina started Games 1 and 5 of the 2001年世界大賽 against the 亞歷桑納響尾蛇. In the 2001 postseason, Mussina posted a 2.63 ERA.

2002年，穆西納投出18勝10敗，防禦率4.05。 2003年，穆西納投出17勝8敗，防禦率3.40。 2004年, after high-profile defections by 羅傑·克萊門斯，Andy Pettitte and David Wells, Mussina became the unquestionable "ace" of the Yankee pitching rotation. 穆西納was plagued by a series of injuries, and wasn't the pitcher he was in 2003 or before. He finished the 2004 season, 12-9 with a 4.59 ERA with a great late-season performance. In 2005, Mussina wasn't the Yankees' ace anymore. He still was inconsistent throughout the season and finished 13-8 with a 4.41 ERA.

在2006年7月31日，穆西納 has a career total of 237 wins and recently broke the 2500 strikeout barrier. Considering he is only 37 years old, there is a slight possibility he could finish his career with 300 wins. With his victory against Cleveland on July 5th, 2006, 麥克·穆西納 became the first pitcher in 美國聯盟歷史 to win 10 or more games for 15 consecutive seasons.[1]

[编辑] 投球分析

Mussina throws a bevy of different pitches. He throws a 4-seam fastball at 91 mph ^{[來源請求]}, a 2-seam fastball, a curveball, a splitter, a slider, a changeup, and arguably his best pitch, the knuckle curve. As with pitchers such as David Cone, Mussina has been known to alter arm angles and 'make up' pitches in the middle of a game. He will for example, drop down side arm if the need arises, though none of his standard pitches call for it.

During spring training, Yankee catcher Jorge Posada noticed that he could see Mussina's fingers wrapped over the ball in a unique way whenever he threw his changeup. When Posada went to bat against Mussina during an intra-squad game, he used this tell tale sign to crush a Mussina changeup into center field. Later on, in between innings, Mussina asked Posada in the dugout how he was able to time Mussina's changeup so well. Posada explained what he was seeing with Mussina's fingers. With this feedback, Mussina adjusted his grip accordingly, making it extremely difficult for batters to guess that a changeup is coming their way. ^{[來源請求]}

[编辑] Brushes with perfection

Mussina is perhaps most infamously known for his collection of near-perfect outings:

1997年 5月30日，he retired the first 25 -{克里夫蘭印地安人}- he faced before surrendering a single to Sandy Alomar Jr. with one out in the ninth; 穆西納 struck-out the last two batters for a one-hit 3-0 shut-out.
1998年 8月4日，he retired the first 23 底特律老虎 he faced before surrendering a double to Frank Catalanotto with two outs in the eighth; Mussina gave up another hit in the eventual 4-0 shut-out.
2001年 9月2日，he had his most heart-breaking brush with perfection when he retired the first 26 波士頓紅襪 he faced; he then ran pinch-hitter Carl Everett (batting for Joe Oliver) to a 1-and-2 count before Everett blooped a single to 左外野。穆西納retired leadoff man Trot Nixon on a grounder, striking out 13 batters in a one-hit 1-0 shut-out.
2002年 4月14日，he retired the first 16 紅襪he faced before surrendering a single to Doug Mirabelli with one out in the sixth; Mussina was replaced by reliever Ramiro Mendoza, and the 洋基finished off the 6-2 win.
2004年 10月12日,，he retired the first 19 紅襪he faced in Game 1 of the 美國聯盟冠軍賽 before surrendering a double to Mark Bellhorn with one out in the seventh; 穆西納 was replaced by Tanyon Sturtze, and the 洋基 finished off the 10-7 win.

[编辑] Near greatness

Aside from his several near perfect outings, Mussina is known to be a great pitcher who has had several brushes with excellence.

Never won 20 games in a season, but won 19 twice. Reliever Armando Benitez blew the save in Mussina's last start in 1996, which would have been win number 20, perhaps costing Mussina the Cy Young to Toronto's Pat Hentgen.
從未贏得防禦率王，但曾數度名列排行榜前十名。
從未贏得賽揚獎，but placing the in the top ten several times.
從未投出完全比賽，but having several near misses (as noted above).
從未在世界大賽贏球。

[编辑] 薪水

During the 2006 season, Mike Mussina is the 5th highest paid player at $19,000,000. However, his contract was heavily backloaded. This caused Mussina to make substantially more money towards the end of his contract compared to the beginning of his contract.

[编辑] Trivia

Throughout the duration of his Yankee career. Mussina has entered to The Zoo by The Scorpions before his starts.

[编辑] 季後賽成績

Mussina has pitched in the postseason in 1996-1997 and 2001-2005. 7-7, 3.30 ERA, 137 strikeouts (128 innings)
