Who has the last Red to lead or tie in the lead of each of the following pitching categories: (Hints in parenthesis)
ERA: (Oldest entry on this list -- before my lifetime) Adj ERA+: Wins: Aaron Harang (2006) 16 (quantumfootball) W-L %: WHIP: Hits per 9 IP: Walks per 9IP: Strikeouts per 9IP: (Well before Mat Latos -- about decade after HRs/9IP leader -- a starting pitcher) HRs per 9IP: (Well before Bronson Arroyo) Games: Saves: Innings Pitched: Johnny Cueto (2014) 243 2/3 (quantumfootball) Strikeouts: (After Edinson Volquez) K/BB: Games Started: Complete Games: Aaron Harang (2006) 6 (quantumfootball) Shutouts: Games Finished: Homeruns allowed: Walks: Hits given up: Earned runs: Losses: Aaron Harang (2008) 17 (quantumfootball) Hit by Pitch: Wild Pitches:
Please keep your guesses to no more than four per day. A guess consists of the Reds pitcher and the category, for example, Tim Adleman, losses. If you want to show off, you can include the year and relevant stat.

Aaron Harang for wins, losses, and total K's Bronson Arroyo for complete games You get two points! Harang was one six pitchers to lead the NL in Wins with 16 in 2006 -- the others were Carlos Zambrano, Brad Penny, Brandon Webb, Derek Lowe, & John Smoltz. Harang tied with the Giant's Barry Zito and 17 losses during the 2008 campaign. Total strikeouts was after Harang's time. One of Arroyo's teammates was complete games.

Innings pitched: Johnny Cueto Complete games: Johnny Cueto? K/9: Aroldis Chapman, or is there an innings limit that he wouldn't qualify for? Strikeouts: Edinson Volquez

You're on a roll, Quantumfootball.
IP was in fact Johnny Cueto in 2014 with 243 2/3 innings.
Yes, there is a limit for the K/9 title; the last leader was in fact a starting pitcher.
Complete games was before Cueto's time. Strikeouts was after Volquez.

You get a gold start for Aaron Harang who led the NL with 6 complete games in 2006. Well, I didn't do HR/9 which would be the least home runs given up per 9 innings, but lo and behold there was a Red winner of that category. It was quite a bit before Arroyo joined the team... K/9 quite a bit before Mat Latos as well -- but about a decade after the HR/9 leader above. ERA is single longest stretch since a Red led in this category. Well before my lifetime, yet I'm pretty sure the name will ring a bell to the seriously trivia minded. You can feel free to post more than 4 if you'd like, quantumfootball, since as of now, you're the sole participant
