Walter Johnson had 369 innings but the leader is the famous Ed Killian with 1001 innings.
"Twilight" Ed Killian. Statistically speaking, toughest pitcher off of which to hit a home run. Decades before Marichal vs. Spahn, Killian pitched into the twilight against Cy Young for 14 scoreless innings only for the Red Sox to score a run in the 15th. Won 20 games a few times, best WAR in the league in 1907 (better than his teammate Cobb's). As a pitcher that year, he batted .320 when the league batting average was .247.
