Could it be the Kilroy (Jack Kilroy?) who struck out 513 batters in 1886?

I believe you are thinking of Matt Kilroy who set the single season strikeout record of 513 as a rookie in 1886 (in 583 innings). Unfortunately, he also walked 182 batters that year, and his career total was only 1.55 K/BB.

Oddly, Kilroy pitched even more innings in his 2nd year, yet his strikeouts dipped to only 217 in 589 innings.

Great guess though!

The Irish player I am thinking of retired two years before Kilroy took the mound in the Majors. He had a career WAR of 60.9 and his initials were TB.

You got it! Tommy Bond finished his career with 5.04 K/BB in his career.

Bond led the NL in strikeouts twice, with a career high of 182, but never walked more than 45 in a season.

Bond once pitched 555 innings in a season and walked just 24 batters.

Bond ranks 3rd all time in strikeouts per walk (behind deGrom and Sale) and is the only 19th century player in the top 20.

Well done!
