Who is Randy Moffitt?
Randall James "Randy" Moffitt is a former American baseball pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays. Born in Long Beach, California, he is the younger brother of tennis star Billie Jean Moffitt King.
Moffitt was drafted by the Giants in the 1st round of the 1970 amateur draft. After a successful year as a starting pitcher for the Class-A Fresno Giants he was converted to relief with the Triple-A Phoenix Giants in 1971. He was called up to the big club in 1972, making his Major League Baseball debut on June 11.
He was a dependable relief pitcher for many years, and finished in the National League Top Ten four times for saves and three times for games pitched. During the 1970s he partnered first with Elías Sosa and later with Gary Lavelle to give the Giants one of the league's better bullpens. In 534 career pitching appearances he finished 306 games including 96 saves.
