I got it - yo la tengo

During the 1962 season, New York Mets center fielder Richie Ashburn and shortstop Elio Chacón frequently found themselves colliding in the outfield. When Ashburn went for a catch, he would scream, "I got it! I got it!" only to run into the 160-pound Chacón, who spoke only Spanish. Ashburn learned to yell, "¡La tengo! ¡La tengo!" which is "I've got it" in Spanish. In a later game, Ashburn happily saw Chacón backing off. He relaxed, positioned himself to catch the ball, and was instead run over by 200-pound left fielder Frank Thomas, who understood no Spanish and had missed a team meeting that proposed using the words "¡La tengo!" as a way to avoid outfield collisions. After getting up, Thomas asked Ashburn, "What the hell is a Yellow Tango?".

LOL. Great story.

Since expansion (1961-2024) there has been 77 pitcher-seasons where a pitcher threw 300+ innings. Only one time did a 300+ inning pitcher strike out fewer than 100 batters. A guy with a 2.65 K/9 strikeout rate wouldn't make a MLB team today. That player represents my first pitcher. What could go wrong?
