Which Pirates pitchers have recorded 200+ K in a season? MLB Immaculate Grid Answers August 23

Today's MLB Immaculate Grid requires participants to name Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers who have struck out 200 or more batters in one season.

Gerrit Cole is the most recent and perhaps the most famous example of a player to achieve the feat. He began his career with the Pirates before moving to the Houston Astros and then the New York Yankees.

He's achieved 200+ strikeouts multiple times, but he just barely accomplished it in Pittsburgh, recording 202 in 2015. At the time of writing, 80% of people had used him, so he's not a very rare answer.

Larry McWilliams in 1983 came up just one strikeout short. He could likely point to a bad call by the umpire that year as to why he didn't get on this prestigious list.
