Cito Gaston might be the biggest one hit wonder with his 1970 season where he hit .318 with 29 HRs and 93 RBIs, leading to 5.1 bWAR. Gaston finished his career with negative bWAR, including 10 seasons of 0 or negative bWAR. His 2nd best season had .4 bWAR.
Brady Anderson’s 50 HR, 110 RBI season in 1996 definitely came out of nowhere. The closest he came to duplicating that feat was 24 HRs and 81 RBIs in ‘99.
Davey Johnson’s 43 HR, 99 RBI season was also an anomaly, more than doubling his 2nd best Home Run output of 18 HRs to go along with 72 RBIs.
But I am not sure about Soriano, as hit over 30 HRs 7x including four 30-30 seasons.
