More trivia: Leading the NL in walks

[Benjamin Grimm]

Inspired by the Oliver Perez thread:

Who are the four Mets pitchers who have led the National League in walks? (Each of the four did it once.)

On the flip side, one Mets hitter led the league in walks, and he also did it only once. Who was he?

[Guest sharpie]

Mike Torrez, Ron Darling for two of the pitchers.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yup. Torrez in 1983 with 113 and Darling two years later with 114.

Piazza?

Is Harrelson the batter?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Not Piazza. Not Harrelson.

Olerud?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Olerud would probably have been my guess, if I didn't already know the answer.

But no, it's not him.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Keith?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Keith it is. He led the NL in 1986 with 94 walks.

Still need two pitchers, in addition to Torrez and Darling. One was in the 1990's, and the other in the 2000's.

feck , that's who I was trying to think off...

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nope, not Leiter.

The 1990's guy is better remembered as a 1980's guy. The 2000's guy is still very fresh in our memories.

Victor Zambrano......nah right, never got enough starts I'd imagine.

Um, Ollie? And Cone?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes!

David Cone in 1992, and Oliver Perez in 2008.

All about the clue, I have no brain left anymore.
