I don't know if its possible. Closest I have found so far is Bill Lee in 1979 with the Expos. He tossed 59 strike outs while being the victim of 21.

His SO/9 that year was 2.4 and the lowest ever for a season was 2.13 according to that list I linked to.

If 2.1 really is the lowest ever in one season for an ERA qualifier, is it possible that there's a pitcher out there that struck out over 2 times every 9 innings that he pitched over the course of a whole season or career?

A relief pitcher could qualify for the career version of this, but they would have even less chances to strike out as they're usually pulled before they bat.
