Since Nolan Ryan set the ML record with 204 walks in 1977, only one pitcher has thrown more than 150 walks in a season: Randy Johnson, with 152 in 1991. Later in his career, he was in the top 10 of fewest BB/9 in four different seasons.
Trick question: How many postseason home runs did Bucky Dent hit in his career? Zero. The 3-run blast that crushed the Red Sox in 1978 was game 163 of the REGULAR season.
In 1974, Herb Washington of the A's had 29 runs and 29 stolen bases, but did not have a single plate appearance. On his 1975 Topps baseball card, his position was listed as "Pinch Run."
GW RBI was an official stat for MLB from 1980-1988. Keith Hernandez holds the all-time and single season records with 129 and 24, respectively. The 1986 Topps baseball set had card #203 as a Record Breaker card for his 24 GW RBI in 1985.
From August 20th to the end of the 1985 season, Dwight Gooden hit more HRs (1) and had more RBIs (8) than he allowed (0 and 7). During this stretch, he started 9 games, went 6-1 with an 0.73 ERA, and struck out 76 in 74 IP.
That is all.
