Worthless stat.
You just named three guys who didn't walk. Those three guys had 60 something seasons among them, and only one season where any of them walked more than 87 times (Willie Mays late in his career).
Harper has 115 this year and counting...because he has ZERO protection. His walks are a big part of his OBP which leads to his high OPS.
