A five time 20-game winner and nine time 15-game winner, George Mullin played from 1902 to 1915, compiling a 228-196 record with a 2.82 ERA. He led the league in innings, games started and complete games in 1905 and wins and WL% in 1909. A workhorse, he was often in the top ten in innings pitched, games started and complete games. In fact, he ranks 55th, 88th and 25th in those categories, respectively.
Mullin was a real stud in the postseason, posting a career ERA of 1.86.
Not only was Mullin a good pitcher, he was also a solid hitter as well, posting a .262 lifetime batting average in 1531 at-bats. A two-way player, he appeared in 15 career games in positions other than pitcher, and he was used as a pinch-hitter 101 times in his career.
Mullin has respectable grey ink of 145, and he is statistically similar to two HOF pitchers: Vic Willis and Red Faber.
One knock against "Wabash George" is he had poor control, leading the league in walks four seasons in a row, from 1903 to 1906.
Random trivia: He was the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter for the Detroit Tigers.
More random trivia: His 200th career win came against the great Walter Johnson.
So, should George Mullin be in the Hall of Fame?
