John Smoltz is the only pitcher in baseball history with over 200 wins and more than 150 saves. He was the ultimate competitor and the classic big-game pitcher, figuring prominently in many of the Braves most important moments during their run of fourteen consecutive division titles. Smoltz had his best season in 1996, leading the league with 24 wins, adding four more in the post-season, winning the All-Star game and the National League Cy Young Award. 

Smoltz possessed the most overpowering stuff of any of the Braves legendary starters, featuring a mid to high nineties fastball and a devastating hard slider. Early in his career he had an explosive splitter, but he went away from it as his arm troubles developed. The injuries cost him parts of three seasons and all of the 2000 season when he had Tommy John surgery.  When he returned, the Braves moved him into the bullpen as the closer, where he took only three seasons to become the Braves all-time leader in saves.  In 2002, his first year as a closer, he set a National League record with 55 saves, finishing third in the Cy Young voting. He followed that up with a 45 save season and a 1.12 ERA.  After three full seasons in the bullpen, he moved back to the starting rotation where he was the staff ace for another three seasons.

An outstanding athlete, Smoltz played good defense, held runners well, bunted well and won a Silver Slugger Award. He was an eight-time All-Star and was inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame in 2010 as the team retired his number 29. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015.
