Randall Leo Jones (born January 12, 1950), nicknamed "Junkman", is an American former professional baseball left-handed pitcher.

He was able to turn it around in 1975 when he won 20 games and led the National League with a 2.24 ERA, earning The Sporting News Comeback Player of the Year Award.

[1] His best season was in 1976,[2] where he survived a car crash, went 22–14 with a 2.74 ERA, started the All-Star Game, won the National League Cy Young Award,[1] and was named The Sporting News NL Pitcher of the Year.

[1] Jones owns the distinction of recording a save for the NL in the 1975 All-Star Game and being the starting and winning pitcher the next year.

During his last start of the 1976 season, he injured a nerve in his pitching arm that required exploratory surgery, and he was never quite able to regain his Cy Young form.

His most prominent pupil was Barry Zito,[7] a former Major League pitcher and the 2002 Cy Young Award winner while with the Oakland Athletics.
