Trivia: Fewest strikeouts in a season?

I'm asking because I saw that Luis Arraez of the Padres is on pace to strike out 14 times this season, which is quite remarkable. But it's far from the record.

Do you know who set that record and how few times he struck out?

I assume this is post 1900 record?

Seems to me the record was 11. Now I shall look it up and see how far off I was.

Well, I missed that one by a mile!

He actually did it twice, and three times had only one more strikeout than the current record. That’s impressive.

And it would also be truly impressive for anyone to know the answer to this question without consulting Google. I sure wouldn't have known!
