With four World Series titles, the Oakland A’s have been, over the years, a storied franchise, thanks in no small part to their pitchers.

The team is said to have had some great pitchers who have shined bright over the past 40-plus years with some of them being; power pitchers, mean pitchers, and curveball pitchers, just to name a few.

Some great pitchers like Mike Moore, Ken Holtzman as well as Jim “Catfish” Hunter have contributed very immensely to the growth of the team leading to them winning many titles and championships.

The best pitcher of the Oakland Athletics is Jim “Catfish” Hunter who is known as the face of A’s pitching as far as I’m concerned.
