The Last Pitch Paul Maholm Ever Threw as a Pirate

Now that Paul Maholm is officially not getting a new deal from the Pirates this offseason, it's time to start thinking about him in the past tense. Maholm had a pretty solid career for the Pirates, and was one of our best players over the last five years (although that is hardly saying anything).

August 17, 2011 was the last start Maholm made for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and in all likelihood, it will stand that way forever. Here's the last pitch he ever threw in a Pirates uniform, a 79.7 mile per hour change up with 6.99 inch horizontal break and 0.89 inch vertical break to David Freese that went for a groundout.


What a pitch.

My best regards go out to Paul, he is a great guy that always gave the team everything he had.
