Ronald Raymond Bryant (born November 12, 1947 in Redlands, California) was a Major League Baseball pitcher from 1967 to 1975. Ron Bryant's career record was 57 wins and 56 losses with a 4.02 ERA – mostly with the San Francisco Giants. He had 519 strikeouts in 917 career innings pitched. In 1973, Bryant had a stellar 24–12 record with a 3.53 ERA for San Francisco. His 24 wins tied him with Wilbur Wood for most victories on that year and made him the National League's only 20-game winner; in contrast, the American League had 12. However, his best pitching year might have been in 1972 when he went 14–7 with a 2.90 ERA. Bryant was injured in a swimming pool accident during spring training in 1974 and was never the same. His career quickly took a turn for the worse in 1974 when he went 3–15 with a 5.61 ERA. Bryant's major league pitching career would end the following year in 1975 with the St. Louis Cardinals where he pitched only ten games – with one start and an 0–1 record.
