Dietzput in a decent career, with this MVP-calibre season smack in the middle in 1970 when he hit .300 with 22 homers, 107 runs batted in, 36 doubles and 109 walks. One of the better seasons by a catcher in that era.
This season was so far and away from any of his other seven campaigns it reminds me of the 1980 Miguel Dilone or Steve Stone years, or maybe the 1973 Davey Johnson season among others.
Over his eight seasons In the Big Leagues, Dietz hit .261, with 478 hits in 1829 at-bats, hitting 66 homers and driving in 301, with 226 runs scored over 646 games, with his one all-star season coming in 1970.
