Over the past month, I've written about four weird seasons in sports history, from Ron Hunt getting hit by 50 pitches in a season, to Bruce Bowen finding 3's easier then free throws in 2002-03. Writing is not something that comes super natural to me, so this was a good opportunity to improve my craft. If you're interested in reading any of the articles I wrote, check out my blog:

After Bruce Bowen's 2002-03 season, his free throw percentage did improve, topping out at 63.4% in 2004-05. After his playing days were over, the retired his jersey number in 2012, and he currently coaches a high school team in Texas.
So, why was Bowen worse at shooting free throws then threes? Well, no one knows for sure, and it's most likely due to multiple reasons. Reasons could be low sample size for free throws, Bowen only shot open threes from the corners, and free throws could have been a mental block for Bowen.

In 2019, Jameis Winston became one of just nine players in the era to throw for over 5000 yards in a season. When you put all of those season and chart them by touchdowns and interceptions, Winston really stands out. Winston also stands out among QB's in 2019, with only two other players throwing at least 20 touchdowns and interceptions.
