Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton has died at 75, his son Daron announced on Tuesday.
Sutton's son said that the former Dodgers pitcher died in his sleep Monday night. No cause of death was released.
"He worked as hard as anyone I’ve ever known and he treated those he encountered with great respect," Daron wrote on Twitter. "And he took me to work a lot. For all these things, I am very grateful. Rest In Peace."
Sutton went 324-256 in his career and struck out more than 3,500 batters. He began his career as part of a loaded Dodgers’ rotation, also featuring Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, and helped Los Angeles win the NL pennant in his first season.
