Mark Worrell
Dave Eiland
Adam Wainwright

Estaban Yan
These 5 guys have each done something that not a lot of pitchers have accomplished. What is it? (has nothing to do with the reds)

Did they each have a season where they won at least 10 games and another where they got 20 saves?

Hoyt Wilhelm couldn't hit to save his life... Yes but some of these guys only got one or two ABs a season. One hit and boom I'm correct.

Good question, no way I would have known without looking it up. Wilhelm hit one home run, one triple, and three doubles over 21 years: the home run, the triple, and two of the doubles came during his first two years in the league. Obviously, from that point, no one was going to give him anything to hit...
He managed a .088 career average and had a better than 90% chance of losing his life in our hypothetical situation...

I knew that Whilhem had homered in his first AB, and Worrell wasn't around all that long to really anything.

As bad a hitter as Hoyt was, I'd imagine The odds were pretty powerballian that he would hit a home run in his first try, lol.
