Mickey Lolich, 85. Hero of the 68 WS, getting 3 wins and beating Gibson in game 7. 5th most K’s be a lefty.

376 innings pitched for Lolich in 1971. A bad start for 1970s workhorse lefties as Wilbur Wood died back in January.

Take that 376 innings and divide by 2 and that inning total is a workhorse in 2026.
