It is a rare and difficult feat for a pitcher to achieve over 300 wins in the MLB. Over the years, a few St. Louis Cardinals have achieved it, with the latest player to do so being Steve Carlton.
The left-handed pitcher started his career with the Cardinals in 1965. After six seasons with them, Carlton was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, a move that is considered to be one of the worst trades ever by the Cardinals.
Other Cardinals pitchers who have had 300+ wins in their MLB career
While there are only a few pitchers who have over 300 wins in the MLB, there are even fewer who have played for the St. Louis Cardinals, two of them being Kid Nichols and Cy Young.
Young was one of the first pitchers to reach the landmark and he played for the Cardinals from 1899 to 1900. A few years later, Kid Nichols also played for the Cardinals and went on to record over 300 wins in his career.
