Well, Williams walked an incredibly large amount of the time. Which, looking at this guy's stats i wonder how does he qualify? 421 ABs plus 50 BBs? Unless he got hit by a lot of pitches, had a lot of sac flies. How does he reach it?

Edit: My bad, I just realized this might be a 154-game schedule, which I believe means 476 PA instead 502. Probably not too hard to get enough HBPs and SFs to hit that. My bad.
