Timeline

1953

Roy Justin Thomas (born June 22, 1953) is an American former professional baseball pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) who played for the Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals and Seattle Mariners in all or parts of eight seasons spanning 1977–1987.

Listed at 6' 5" and 215 pounds, Thomas batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Quantico, Virginia.

1965

Thomas grew up in Lompoc, California, and was the star pitcher of the Lompoc Nationals Little League team that went to the SoCal finals at El Monte in 1965.

At Lompoc High School, he was teammates with Roy Howell.

1971

He was selected sixth overall in the 1971 MLB draft by the Philadelphia Phillies out of Lompoc High at eighteen years old.

After a brief stint with the Northwest League's Walla Walla Phillies in 1971, in which he gave up fourteen earned runs in twelve innings pitched, Thomas went 11-7 with a 3.43 earned run average in 24 starts in his first full minor league season in 1972 with the Western Carolinas League's Spartanburg Phillies.

1973

He went 17-8 with a stellar 2.14 ERA and 207 strikeouts with the Rocky Mount Phillies and Reading Phillies in 1973 to earn an invitation to Spring training the following season, but failed to earn a spot in the Phillies' rotation.

1975

After two more seasons in the Phillies' farm system, the once deemed "untouchable" Thomas was dealt to the Chicago White Sox along with Dick Ruthven and Alan Bannister in exchange for Jim Kaat and Mike Buskey on December 10, 1975.

In his only season in the Sox organization, Thomas went 6-11 with a 3.75 ERA with their Triple-A affiliate, the Iowa Oaks.

1976

Afterwards, he was selected by the Seattle Mariners with the 31st pick in the 1976 MLB expansion draft.

The Mariners then placed him on waivers toward the end of spring training, then worked out a trade to the Houston Astros for infielder Larry Milbourne.

1977

Thomas was converted to a relief pitcher in 1977, and went 11-6 with a 3.16 ERA and six saves for the triple A Charleston Charlies to earn a call up to Houston that September.

The only two MLB teams Thomas faced in were the last place Atlanta Braves, and the eventual National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

In his two games against the Braves, Thomas blew a save opportunity while surrendering four hits and two earned runs in 2.1 innings pitched.

In his two games against the Dodgers, he pitched four innings and gave up just one hit while striking out two.

1978

Thomas returned to Charleston in 1978 to go 9-4 with a 3.14 ERA mostly in relief.

On June 23, he was selected off waivers by the St. Louis Cardinals, and brought directly to the majors.

In his first appearance with the Cardinals, Thomas earned a win by pitching two scoreless innings in an extra innings affair with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

He earned saves in his next two appearances against the Montreal Expos, but was roughed up by the Chicago Cubs in his next two outings.

After one more relief appearance, he made an emergency start against the San Diego Padres, and gave up five runs in four innings for his first career loss.

He returned to the bullpen after that, and earned one save with a 1.54 ERA the rest of the way.

1979

Thomas began the 1979 season assigned to the triple A Springfield Redbirds, where he was converted back to a starter.

He was called up July 1, and immediate made his first start in the second game of a doubleheader with the Phillies.

He gave up one earned run in seven innings, but did not figure in the decision.

He earned his first win as a starter on August 7 against the New York Mets.

Overall, Thomas went 3-4 with a 2.92 ERA and one save mostly in middle relief.

He earned a spot in the Cardinals' bullpen in Spring, but got off to a horrible start to the regular season (11.57 ERA & 1 blown save in April).

He then entered the starting rotation, and made the finest start of his major league career on May 14 against the Padres.

In seven innings, he surrendered five hits and one earned run to earn the win.

On May 30, after returning to the bullpen, he struck Montreal Expos outfielder Ellis Valentine in the face with a pitch, shattering his cheekbone.

He remained in the Cards' bullpen another month until he was optioned down to Springfield to make room for Silvio Martinez's return from the disabled list.

1980

1981

In 1981, Thomas went 12-8 with a 3.05 ERA and 111 strikeouts for Oakland's triple A affiliate, the Tacoma Tigers, but did not see any major league experience.

After the season, he was dealt to the Seattle Mariners for minor leaguers Tim Hallgren and Rusty McNealy.

1982

He spent his first Spring with his new club in the majors, but was shipped to the triple A Salt Lake City Gulls just as the 1982 season was set to begin.

He successfully made the club the following Spring, and spent his first full season in the majors in, when he went 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA and 77 strikeouts in 43 appearances.

His 88.2 innings pitched was tops for a right hander on the club.

A sore elbow in his pitching arm derailed his season.

1985

He returned healthy in 1985, but failed to make the club.
