Joe Sewell has one of the more interesting statistical careers I've ever seen.

His best year was probably 1923 when he had 12 strikeouts in 685 plate appearances. He batted .353 with a .456 OBP and actually grabbed 98 walks (unusual for guys who strike out as little as him, as they are mainly looking to make contact at all costs).

Also in 1927 he had 3 stolen bases and 16 caught stealing.
