Bruce Sutter, a Baseball Hall of Fame reliever and the 1979 National League Cy Young winner, has died. He was 69.
Hall of Fame pitcher and Cy Young winner Bruce Sutter passed away Friday, the league announced. He was 69.
Sutter was a dominant closer who revolutionized the split-fingered fastball. His 12-year major league career began in 1976 with the Chicago Cubs and made a name for himself as a multi-inning reliever.“Bruce was the first pitcher to reach the Hall of Fame without starting a game, and he was one of the key figures who foreshadowed how the use of relievers would evolve,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said Friday in a statement.
The reliever won the Cy Young in 1979, the season where he had 37 saves, 2.22 ERA and 110 strikeouts. He joined the St. Louis Cardinals and played with them from 1981 to 1984. There, he won a World Series in 1982, ending Game 7 against the Brewers with a strikeout. His last save, No. 300, came with the Atlanta Braves in 1988. Sutter was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.Sutter was a dominant pitcher and a member of the '82 World Series Championship team.Our thoughts are with Bruce's family and friends.
