Alex Wilson has thrown the most strikeouts, 226. These are totals over the seasons published here rather than whole careers: a player who debuted before 2007 arrives mid-career, and his numbers start where the archive does.

They come from 2 different towns and cities.

Country here means country of birth, taken from each player's biographical record. It is not nationality and not who a player has represented internationally — the three disagree often enough to matter, and birthplace is the one this data actually holds. Every rate statistic and every dbWAR figure is computed from play-by-play using constants measured from each season's own data, so the numbers are era-correct without being copied from anywhere.
