Randy led the league in ERA 4 times and in wins once. His post season record was just 7-9. He was a solid pitcher and deserves to be in the conversation, but I'll still take Grove, then Spahn of the lefties, and Walter for best overall.
If you lined up all the pitchers in the game in 1960, the guy who all the coaches and scouts would be drooling over, concerning raw ability and potential, wouldn't be Koufax, Drysdale, Spahn, Gibson, Pierce, Ford, Pascual, or any of those guys. It would've been a fellow named Steve Dalkowski.
