24. Mike Witt

Standing at 6’ 7”, Mike Witt was an imposing sound on the mound throughout the 1980s, a decade spent with the California Angels.

Witt made it to the Majors in 1981, but he did not have his breakout until 1984 when he began a four-year streak winning 15 Games and fanning at least 180 batters.  In 1984, Witt made history as the 11th player in history to throw a perfect game when he blanked Texas in the season finale.  That performance elevated Witt to the staff ace, and he would represent the Angels in the 1986 and 1987 All-Star Game.  

Witt declined in 1988 and would be traded to the New York Yankees in 1990.  With the Angels, he had a nice record of 109-107 with 1,283 Strikeouts.  The team inducted Witt into their Hall of Fame in 2015.
