Perhaps if someone trained themselves to throw ambidextrously so that they could pitch right handed in the starting rotation one day and left handed a different day and also throw a knuckleball so that they could pitch until they are 50 years old - all of that could drastically increase the odds. In addition this person could spot relieve and pick up more wins. One cut throat way to get additional wins would be to pull the starting pitcher with a lead after pitching 4-2/3 innings thus making that starting pitcher ineligible for the win and thus making the relief pitcher eligible for the win provided he pitch effectively for an inning for so. Mike Marshall made 106 appearances in one season. Pitching with both arms could make that pitcher eligible everyday in theory.
