I did some research on Randy Johnson's pitch counts. From 1990-2002, a span of 13 seasons, he put up individual game pitch counts at a frequency that would boggle the mind of today's managers and pitching coaches.
160+ pitches = 2
150+ = 9
140+ = 42
130+ = 102
120+ = 198
Starts = 384
percentage of starts of 120+ pitches = 51.6%
There were several other allstar level pitchers to compare him to in the 1990-2002 time span: Maddux (434 starts), Wells (354 starts), Clemens(399 starts), Glavine(433 starts), Smoltz (320 starts), Cone (337 starts), Mussina (355 starts), Moyer (293 starts), Schilling (299 starts), Finley (404 starts), Kevin Brown (376 starts), and Kenny Rogers The Pitcher (304 starts).
So far, I ran the numbers on Maddux and Wells...
Wells:
160+ = 0
150+ = 1
140+ = 3
130+ = 10
120+ = 38
starts = 354
percentage of starts of 120+ pitches or more = 10.7 %
Maddux:
160+ = 0
150+ = 0
140+ = 2
130+ = 5
120+ = 30
starts = 434
percentage of starts of 120+ pitches or more = 06.9 %
