Former MLB pitcher Ken Holtzman died Sunday at the age of 78, per MLB.com's Thomas Harrigan. Holtzman was hospitalized with heart issues for three weeks before his death.
Holtzman had a 15-year MLB career, playing for four different teams. He was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the fourth round of the first-ever MLB draft in 1965 out of the University of Illinois.
Holtzman, who spent his first seven seasons with the Cubs, threw no-hitters in 1969 and 1971, recording the big league's last no-hitter to be thrown without a strikeout. In 1967, Holtzman enlisted in the National Guard and only pitched on weekends, making 12 starts to go 9-0 with a 2.
