It's pretty easy to find the statistics. Several teams only used 4 in 1969. Dodgers had 3 starters with 40+ starts and that was still a 154 game schedule. 59 pitchers had more than 200 innings. 9 got to 300. Obviously, pitcher stamina should be way higher in 1969 than it is now and starters shouldn't be at 0% when they threw 95 pitches.
