Set by Richard "night train" lane at 14 picks during his rookie season in 1952. With modern rules and schemes I just don't think anyone ever gets close.

To put the sheer number of innings Cy Young pitched into perspective:

Nolan Ryan was a starting pitcher for 27 years. He is the All-time Strikeout leader. He started 773 games.

If Nolan Ryan had pitched a complete game in every single game of his career, he would still have pitched 400 less innings than Cy Young.
