In the past, BBRT has featured such moundsmen as Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson and Pedro Martinez.\u00a0 (An explanation of the inspiration behind the Who\u2019s Your Daddy? series can be found the end of this post.)\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>This post looks at a lineup of hitters who found success against Roger “The Rocket” Clemens\/\u00a0 As always, I would stress that the pitchers included in the Who’s Your Daddy? series are among the “best in the business.” They are selected not because of the players who performed well against them, but rather because success among hitters when they were on the mound was the exception rather than the rule.<\/p>\n Before we get started on Clemens, here are links to the previous editions of this series:<\/span><\/p>\n Coming soon, Max Scherzer.<\/p>\n Now, on to Roger Clemens.<\/p>\n Clemens won 20 or more games in six seasons, leading his league in wins four times. He also led in winning percentage three times, earned run average seven times, strikeouts five times, complete games three times, shutouts six times and innings pitched twice.\u00a0 Notably, he recorded his leagues\u2019 lowest qualifying ERA for the first time in 1986 (age 23) and for the last time in 2005 (age 42).\u00a0 He notched 354 career wins (ninth all-time) against 184 losses, put up a 3.12 in 4,916 2\/3 innings and fanned 4,672 batters (third all-time).\u00a0 Over his career, Clemens held hitters to a .229 average and fanned one of every 4.3 batters he faced. In the post-season Clemens went 12-8, 3.75 in 35 games (34 starts), fanning 173 batter in 199 innings.<\/p>\n 20-20 \u2026 More than a Vision<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n For most pitchers, fanning 20 batters in nine innings is no more than a \u201cvision.\u201d\u00a0 Only four pitchers have turned that vision into reality: Roger Clemens, Kerry Woods, Max Scherzer and Randy Johnson. Of those only Roger Clemens has achieved this feat twice.\u00a0 He was, in fact, both the first and second pitcher to whiff 20 batters in a nine-inning game \u2013 and he did it ten years apart (April 29, 1986 and September 18, 1996. Side note: Randy Johnson\u2019s 20 strikeouts came in the first nine-innings of an eleven-inning contest (he was relived after nine frames by Byung-Hyun Kim).\u00a0 All the others were nine-inning complete games.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, who could hit Clemens’ stuff? Let’s take a look.\u00a0 Keeping in mind, these lineup selections are subjective (but informed) choices – open for discussion and debate.\u00a0 Note:\u00a0 Unless otherwise noted the stats here are regular-season only.\u00a0<\/em> Now, the “Who’s Your “Daddy?” lineup versus The Rocket.<\/p>\n Catcher \u2013 Mike Piazza \u2026 .421 average, 1.105 slugging percentage<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Mike Piazza clearly \u201chad Clemens\u2019 number\u201d \u2013 and he put up the numbers of his own to prove it.\u00a0 In eight regular-season games against Clemens, Piazza hit .421 (8-for-19) and drove in ten runs.\u00a0 Further, five of his eight hits were for extra bases (one double and four home runs). That gave Piazza a 1.105 slugging percentage against The Rocket \u2013 the highest among batters with at least ten at bats versus Clemens. \u00a0\u00a0Piazza got on base via hit, walk or hit by pitch at least once in every regular-season game he faced Clemens. \u00a0Notably, only 12 players notched at least four regular-season home runs against Clemens. Piazza accomplished the feat in 19 at bats. Everyone else with at least four dingers versus Clemens had at least 56 at bats against him.<\/p>\n Hall of Famer Mike Piazza played 16 MLB seasons (1992-2007 \u2026 Dodgers, Marlins, Mets, Padres, A\u2019s). He was the 1993 NL Rookie of the Year (.318-35-112 for the Dodgers) and a 12-time All Star.<\/p>\n Looking for the Long Ball<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Mike Piazza hit an MLB-record (for catchers) 396 home runs as a backstop.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n While he never led his league in any of the key offensive categories, Poazza topped 30 home runs in nine seasons (reaching 40 twice); had six seasons of 100+ RBI; and hit .300 or better nine times \u00a0Over his career, Piazza hit .308 (2,127 hits), with 427 home runs, 1,335 RBI, 1,048 runs scored.\u00a0 His best season was 1997, when he hit .362-40-124 in 152 games for the Dodgers. \u00a0He hit .242-6-15 in 32 post-season games.<\/p>\n __________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n Making Contact\u2026 or Not \u2013 A Couple of Players with Twins Ties<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Brian Harper made pretty consistent contact versus The Rocket.\u00a0 In 23 regular season plate appearances against Clemens, he never struck out (the highest total of PA against Clemens without a whiff of any player).\u00a0 He also never walked, and collected seven hits (for a .304 average).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n On the other side of the coin, Torii Hunter faced Clemens 27 times, fanned 14 and never got a hit (two walks).\u00a0 His 25 at bats are the most of any player with a .000 average versus Clemens.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n First Base \u2013 Jim Thome \u2026 Eight home runs and 19 RBI versus Clemens<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Hall of Famer Jim Thome\u2019s eight home runs and 19 RBI are the most of any hitter versus Clemens \u2013 and his .373 average (Thome was a career .276 hitter) wasn\u2019t bad either (understatement there). Thome had 22 career hits (in 23 games) against Clemens \u2013 15 of which went for extra bases.<\/p>\n Jim Thome played 22 MLB seasons (1991-2012 \u2026 Indians, Phillies, White Sox, Dodgers, Twins, Orioles). The five-time All Star hit 30 or more home runs 11 times (a high of 52 in 2002). He led the AL in home runs with 47 in 2003 \u2013 and hit 190 home runs between 2001 and 2004 (four seasons). Thome also topped 100 RBI in nine seasons, 100 runs scored in eight and drew 100 or more walks nine times.<\/p>\n Walk, Don\u2019t Run<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Going into the 2020 season (we hope), Jim Thome leads all of MLB with 13 career walk-off home runs. He also shares the MLB lead with walk-off home runs in extra innings at eight (tied with Frank Robinson and Albert Pujols).<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n For his career, Thome went .276-612-1,699, with 1,583 runs scored.\u00a0\u00a0 His 612 regular-season home runs are eighth all-time.\u00a0 Side note: His career 2,548 strikeouts are second all-time.<\/em>\u00a0 Thome also had 17 post-season home runs (71 games \u2026 .211-17-37). His best season was 2002, when he went .304-52-118 for the Indians. He became a free agent after that campaign and signed with the Phillies, where he led the NL in home runs with 47 in 2002.\u00a0 Side note:\u00a0 In his first game facing Clemens, (August 13, 1992), Thome played third base and batter eighth.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Honorable Mention at 1B:<\/em> Paul Konerko<\/strong> only faced Clement in eight games, but he made the most of them \u2013 going 10-for-20 (.500), with two home runs and six RBI; Will Clark<\/strong> went eight-for-20 (.400), with two home runs and six RBI in nine games versus Clemens.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n Where was that pitch?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Greg Vaughn clearly had trouble with Roger Clemens’ heat \u2013 fanning 25 times in just 49 plate appearances (45 at bats), putting up a .089 average and driving in just one run in 15 games. Vaughn was a career .242 hitter (15 MLB seasons), who fanned in 21.4 percent of his plate appearances. He went down on strikes in 51 percent of his plate appearances versus Clemens.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Second Base \u2013 Lou Whitaker \u2026 .338 average. .444 on-base percentage<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Lou Whitaker hit a healthy .338 against Roger Clemens and also drew 14 walks (in 24 games). Whitaker reached Clemens for three home runs and drove in eight runs against him. In his final game against Clemens (August 2, 1995), Whitaker reached him for two walks and hit a long home run in three plate appearances.<\/p>\n Lou Whitaker played 19 MLB seasons (1977-95), all with the Tigers. He was the 1978 AL Rookie of the Year (.285-3-58 in 139 games), a five-time All Star and three-time Gold Glover. His best season was 1983, when he hit .320 (206 hits), with 12 home runs, 72 RBI, 94 runs scored and 17 steals.\u00a0 Over his career, Whitaker hit 20 or more home runs four times, and scored 100+ runs twice.<\/p>\n Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Tigers\u2019 vaunted double-play combination – Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammel – did pretty well against Clemens: Whitaker hit .338 against him in 65 at bats; Trammel .364 in 66 at bats.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Whitaker was a career .276 hitter (2,369 hits in 2,390 games), with 244 home runs, 1,084 RBI, 1,386 runs scored and 143 stolen bases.<\/p>\n ____________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n Third Base – Paul Molitor \u2026 33 hits<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Yes, I know Paul Molitor spent most of his career (and made the Hall of Fame) primarily as a DH, but he started five of his first ten games against Clemens at third base (four at DH and one at 2B).<\/p>\n Molitor\u2019s 33 hits against Clemens are the most safeties The Rocket gave up to any hitter. They are also the most hits Molitor had off any pitcher (he also had 33 off Jack Morris). Molitor\u2019s performance against Clemens is dampened a bit by his 18 strikeouts (versus seven walks), but he did put up a .308 batting average.<\/p>\n Molitor played 21 MLB seasons (Brewers, Blue Jays, Twins). He was a seven-time All Star \u2026 and hit .306.\u00a0 His 3,319 base hits rank tenth all-time. He finished with 234 regular-season home runs, 605 doubles, 114 triples, 1,307 RBI, 1,782 runs scored and 504 stolen bases. Molitor led his league in hits three times (topping 200 hits in four seasons); runs scored three times (with five campaigns of 100+); doubles once and triples once. He stole twenty or more bases in 13 seasons, reaching forty or more steals four times.<\/p>\n Three for 300<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Paul Molitor and Ichiro Suzuki are the only MLB players to triple for their 3,000th<\/sup> MLB hit.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Molitor was even more of a force on the big stage, putting up a .368-6-22 line in 29 post-season games \u2013 and earnings MVP honors in the 1993 World Series (for Toronto), when he had 12 hits in 24 at bats (.500), two home runs, eight RBI and ten runs scored.<\/p>\n Honorable Mention at 3B:<\/em> Gary Sheffield<\/strong>, who faced Clemens in five games (three at 3B, one at SS, one at DH), went 11-for-18 against him for a .611 average (nine singles, two doubles). In his first game versus Clemens (June 27, 1989), he went single, single, double, walk.<\/p>\n ___________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n Shortstop \u2013 Alex Rodriguez \u2026. .377 average in 18 games<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Alex Rodriguez collected 20 hits in 18 games off Roger Clemens \u2013 for a nifty .377 average.\u00a0 He had two home runs, six doubles and nine RBI.\u00a0 \u00a0Interestingly (at least to BBRT), when Rodriguez first faced Clemens (in A-Rod\u2019s 1994 rookie season), he batted ninth in the lineup.<\/p>\n Rodriguez retired with a .295 batting average (3,115 hits), 696 home runs (fourth all-time), 2,086 RBI (third all-time), 2,021 runs scored (eighth all-time) and 329 stolen bases (in 405 attempts).

Griffey Jr.\u2019s first five plate appearances against Clemens produced three ground outs, one fly out and one strikeout \u2013 a nice round 0-for-5. He then got on base six straight times \u2013 walk, single, single, double, walk, walk. In 1994, Griffey Jr. faced Clemens six times in two games and collected five hits (four singles and a home run).<\/p>\n Like Son, Like Father<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Ken Griffey, Sr. also touched up Clemens pretty well.

The Hall of Famer was a 13-time All Star, ten-time Gold Glover and the 1992 AL Most Valuable Player. He was a four-time home run leader (hitting 40 or more home runs in seven seasons \u2013 56 in a season twice); led the league in RBI once (getting 100 or more RBI in eight seasons); led the league in runs scored once (scoring 100 or more runs in six campaigns);\u00a0 He also hit .300 or better seven times.\u00a0 Griffey finished his MLB career with 2,781 hits (.284 average); 630 home runs (seventh all-time), 1,836 RBI, 1,662 runs scored and 184 stolen bases.\u00a0 His best season was 1997 (Mariners), when he hit .304 and led the league in home runs (56), RBI (147), run scored (125) and total bases (393) \u2013 and threw In a Gold Glove to ice the cake.<\/p>\n Some Pretty Good Players, by George<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n What do Babe Ruth, Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr., George Brett, and Tom Seaver have in common?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Their first names:\u00a0 George Herman Ruth; George Kenneth Griffey Sr. and Junior; George Brett; and George Thomas Seaver.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n __________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n Outfield \u2013 Harold Baines \u2026 32 hits, 17 walks, .402 on-base percentage<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Harold Baines came to the plate more times against Clement than any other player (122 plate appearances in 37 games-) He collected the second-most hits against him (32, one behind Paul Molitor) and tied for the most walks (17, tied with Rafael Palmeiro and John Olerud).\u00a0 That added up to a .305 average and a .402 on-base percentage.<\/p>\n Baines played 22 MLB seasons (1980-2001 \u2026 White Sox, Rangers, A\u2019s, Orioles, Indians.)\u00a0 The Hall of Famer was a five-time All Star. He collected 2,866 hits (.289), 384 home runs and 1,628 RBI.

His best season was 2003, with the Red Sox, when he went .306-28-87.

As a hitter, he went 2-for 21 (15 strikeouts) and his home run against Clemens was his only MLB long ball.<\/p>\n Estes hit his dinger against Clemens on June 15, 2002. It came in an 8-0 Mets win over Clemens and the Yankees. It was two-run shot in the bottom of the fifth that gave the Mets a 3-0 lead.\u00a0 Estes went seven innings (five hits, no runs, one walk, eleven strikeouts) for the victory.\u00a0 Estes pitched 13 MLB seasons (1995-2006, 2008 \u2026 Giants, Mets, Reds, Cubs, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Padres). He went 101-93, 4.71 and was an All Star in 1997, when he went 19-5, 3.18 for the Giants.
