Dude had a shit-ton of complete games ... 310 of them during his career.  But his W-L% over them was .845.

Nope.  Eck had a .710 winning %.  He shared some career overlap with the answer, though.

Nope, but it looks like we've moved on.

Answer was Morris, who pitched 175 CGs, and had a W-L% in them of just .634.
