Sabremetrically speaking, Frank “Noodles” Hahn is the most effective Pitcher in Cincinnati Reds history.

He also has one of the best nicknames in franchise history.

Hahn was a star southpaw at the turn of the century and would win the Strikeouts Title three years in a row (1899-1901) and historically peaking has the distinction of hurling the first no-hitter in the twentieth century.  During Hahn’s tenure with Cincinnati, his team wasn’t often very good and he was often responsible for a disproportionate amount of wins.

Like so many of his peers, his arm gave out early and he was out of baseball well before 30.  The Reds Hall of Fame called his name in 1963.
