The Padres announced that former pitcher and Cy Young Award winner Randy Jones died Tuesday at age 75. He pitched a lot:

Jones was a ground ball specialist who relied on deception and control instead of velocity, leading to his “Junkman” nickname. His career statistics reflect a bygone era of baseball: He started 285 games and pitched 1,933 career innings in his 10-year career but recorded only 735 career strikeouts, including just 93 in his Cy Young season.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

His 1975 and 1976 seasons accounted for 12.2 of his 18.8 rWAR. Over those two years he finished third in innings pitched with 600 1/3, and third in ERA at 2.50. His 2.94 K per 9 IP ranked low even for that ERA, but he seldom walked batters or allowed home runs. Stories like Jones led to teams to return to the decades long trend of limiting pitchers more, a trend that briefly reversed in the 1970s.
