because I thought he didn't have enough appearances: Aroldis Chapman.

52 innings to hit 24 hitters. Plus he walked 35 hitters. That's 59 guys combined in 52 innings.

Austin Adams

I remember texting with friends when his stats were highlighted during a Pads telecast. 24 in 52 innings is such an anomaly.

Serious guess: Kerry Wood. I just know he plunked a ton of batters in 2003

Serious guess: Don Drysdale

Sal "The Barber" Maglie.

Randy Johnson. Before he got his control.

Along those lines, I considered Sandy Koufax, who struggled with control early in his career. But I’ll put my chips in with Johnson.

Edit to add after looking it up… RJ was not a terrible guess, but still wrong.

Could not have been more wrong bringing up Koufax, with 18 career HBPs. But he did lead the league in wild pitches one year; that must have been what was in my head.

Scared the shit out of John Kruk. And didn't even come close to hitting him.

Serious guess: Nolan Ryan

Nolan Ryan (maybe lightning will strike twice)

Second guess: Dock Ellis

Pedro Martinez.

Only because I think I read it somewhere. Could be my imagination.

Lots of hitters have more than 24
