He didn't even strike out ONCE that year. He put the ball in play ever single time he came to the plate. He only struck out 20 times in over 800 career PA. Johnny Sain's 1946 season was amazing!

The 2nd non pitcher on the list was Alejandro Sanchez of the 85 Tigers. This is about the time that the City of Cincinatti was considering honoring Pete Rose for one minute by turning every traffic light in the city Red. I called the Tigers PR department and suggested that they should try to get the City of Detroit to make every crosswalk signal read DONT WALK in honor of Sanchez. Nope, they didn't find it funny either. Von SF's are charged as a PA even though it is nmot charged as an AB.
