Ken Holtzman Stats

Ken Holtzman was born on Saturday, November 3, 1945, in St. Louis, Missouri. Holtzman was 19 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 4, 1965, with the Chicago Cubs. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Ken Holtzman baseball stats page.
"The control wasn't there. Right away, I said to myself, 'Kenny, you haven't got too much today.' And I was hoping we'd get a lot of runs. The breaking stuff just wasn't there...I knew I didn't have any strikeouts and when I got to the fifth inning, I knew I wasn't going to get any. I had no curve, no changeup, so I made up my mind to challenge the hitters with my fastball and let them hit it." - Ken Holtzman in Baseball Digest (Stephen D. Boren, August 1992, 'They Pitched No-Hitters Without a Single Strikeout!')
