Mark Gubicza

Inducted 2006

Pitcher 1984-1996

Always taking to the mound with great tenacity, fire and stamina, Gubicza anchored the Royals pitching staff for over a decade. He was named Royals Pitcher of the Year two times and by the end of his career had recorded the second-most innings pitched in club history (2,218.2). After his 13 seasons, Gubicza was also the Royals all-time strikeout leader (1,366). On Aug. 27, 1988, the two-time All-Star set a franchise record with 14 strikeouts in a single game. His 132 career wins gave him the third-most ever collected by a Royals pitcher.

Gubicza, affectionately known as "Goobie," still ranks second in club history with 1,366 strikeouts and third with 132 wins and 16 shutouts. He also helped the team win the 1985 World Series.
