As a Cleveland Indians fan, I remember him pitching in 1968. 1.63 ERA, 21 victories for the 3rd place Indians. We also had Sonny Siebert and Sam McDowell. Luis had no chance for a Cy Young award: Mickey Lolich had 31 victories. He was the last 30 game winner.
Here’s Luis’ windup. I think if a pitcher did this today, the hitters would totally freak out.

Denny McClain... but who cares I got ya.
Between Bob Gibson (1.12 ERA for the season and 22 wins, almost all of them complete games) and Denny McClain, the two Cy Young Awards for 1968 were wrapped up. Pitchers were so dominant that season that the mound was lowered in 1969.
