Been fiddling around with a random debut replay from 1871. Got to the 1876 season and it seems all hell has broken lose with the pitchers. Now I get it, the early years were weird and OOTP does its best to do what it can to allow us to play those years. But wow, this is the craziest thing I have ever seen.

Hardie Henderson, playing for the Baltimore Orioles, went on a rampage and struck out 839 batters in 57 games. He had a 34-22 record and allowed 255 hits in 511.0 ip

But thats not all, meanwhile in the National League:

Allie Reynolds, for the Chicago White Stockings, also struck 829 batters, having a pitched 522.0, compling a 36-20 record, allowing 239 hits.

WOW, I thought this was a bit over the top, it was interesting, there was one game, that I believe Reynolds struck 30, winning 6-2 allowing 9 hits. I dont keep box scores so I cant give more details, but this is some insane stuff.

Anyone have similar examples?

Love this game
