Well…
Witt walked the most batters three times as a Ranger and also allowed the most Runs once. He was also a two-time leader in Wild Pitches and four of his seasons in Texas saw him with a negative bWAR. As a Texas Ranger he had a less than impressive Earned Run Average of 4.88 and a WHIP of 1.577. It would seem like Bobby Witt was certainly loved by his teammates to generate that many Wins with some of the stats he had.

On the surface, 104 Wins and 1,818 Strikeouts should gain Bobby Witt a much higher rank. He had a 17-10 1990 season that would see him finish second in Strikeouts in the American League so certainly his positioning on the greatest Texas Rangers of all-time should be higher right?
