Adding to my new thread celebrating all the 20-game winners of 1969, we have Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bill Singer in my 1970 "20 Win Circle" sub-set:
Singer
made his first All-Star team that year, posting a record of 20-12 over
41 appearances, with a 2.34 earned run average over 315.2 innings,
completing 16 games while tossing two shutouts.
It was the third season in a row posting an ERA under 3.00 for the righty, while setting a career-high with 247 strikeouts.
During his career he posted two 20-win seasons and three 200-strikeout
seasons, including 241 in 1973, which helped set a new record along with
teammate Nolan Ryan’s 383 for most strikeouts by teammates with 624.
Sadly, though still only 33, arm troubles led him to retiring after the 1977 season,
finishing up his career with a record of 118-127, with a nice 3.39 ERA
over 322 appearances, with 24 shutouts and 1515 strikeouts.
