With ever-skyrocketing K rates this probably should come with a caveat, but Koji did retire with the highest K:BB ratio in modern MLB history at over 7:1.  He had a higher rate in the majors than in Japan, since he spent most of his Japanese career as a starter and most of his MLB career relieving.

The official all-time record is a couple tenths higher than Koji, but James Burke played from 1882-84.  Walks took something more than four balls, he was pitching from flat ground about 50' from the plate, and all but 12 of his innings were in the Union Association.  The UA is officially designated a major league because of a misunderstanding of its quality - the Delmarva Shorebirds would be highly competitive if dropped into that league.  Second fun James Burke fact of the day: his career BB:WP ratio is 0.85.  Career 40 wild pitches, 34 walks.  That is pretty hard to do.

Anyway, the record is Koji's.

Schoop is pretty much returned to form. .824 OPS, 8 homers, 33 Ks to 5 BB (lol).

If you can’t hit in that offense you can’t hit anywhere.

They’ve turned CJ Cron into a monster.

Cron's OPS+ is only three points higher than last year with the Rays. Mitch Garver has gone nuts for the Twins. His OPS has increased 400 points over last year.

One of my favorites.  Really made me sad to see him end up in Boston.

I'm still surprised Jones only got a 1 year 3mill deal. I've wondered, if he accepted the deal to the Phillies and hit well down the stretch, if he would have gotten some of the stupid money instead of McCutchen.

Yeah, it's been fun watching the Twins offense this year. Fireworks nearly every night.
