1961 was a good year for these types of seasons.
Jim Gentile had an identical WAR (more then double his 2nd best season) to Roger Maris, led the league in RBI's (tied with Maris), and had a much higher OBP and higher Slugging% and OPS+ then Maris.

It will be difficult to top Kyle Wright, 21-5 in 2022, 3-11 otherwise.

Irv "Young Cy" Young won 20 games as a rookie for a team that only won 51 games and led NL pitchers with 9.9 Pitching WAR. He pitched 5 more seasons and he had an ERA+ below 100 all 5 finishing with a career ERA+ of 88 and 11.6 WAR.
In 1914 Bill James went 26-7 with a 1.90 ERA, ERA+ 150, finished 3rd in MVP voting as he helped the Braves win a World Championship and accumulated 7.9 WAR. He pitched 3 other seasons and went 11-14 and accumulated 0.4 WAR.

Not the same thing but it always freaked me out that Yaz 3 seasons of 40 or more home runs, but none between 30 and 40, and actually only one season between 23 and 40.

Angel Berroa, the 2003 Rookie of the Year, never had a good season after. Dave "Boo" Ferriss won 46 games in two years for the Red Sox, then injured his arm and was never the same.

Two more pitchers:
Dick Ellsworth went 22-10 with a 2.11 ERA (league leading 167 ERA+) and an absurd 10.2 bWAR in 1963. Ellsworth only had one other winning season, and ended up with a 115-137 record with a league average ERA+ of exactly 100. The year before Ellsworth's monster year, Bobby Schantz led the League with 24 wins to only 7 losses, an ERA of 2.48 (159 ERA+) and a league leading 8.8 bWAR on his way to an MVP. He would never win more than 11 games again.

Evan Gattis had a brief career with a couple productive seasons but his 2015 season was kinda freaky. He had 12 triples in his entire career but hit 11 of them in 2015 as a catcher and finished tied for third while also hitting 27 homers.

Harry Krause was 18-8 with a league-leading 1.39 ERA for the A's in 1909 as a 20-year-old rookie. He had arm trouble after that and won only 18 more games in the majors, but had a long successful career in the PCL.
