Games finished

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In baseball statistics, a relief pitcher is credited with a game finished (denoted by GF) if he is the last pitcher to pitch for his team in a game. A starting pitcher is not credited with a GF for pitching a complete game.

As of the conclusion of the 2005 baseball season.

* = pitchers who are in the Baseball Hall of Fame

† = pitchers who are still active
