Actually, it wasn't just walks where Koufax improved dramatically. With the cutoff line being 1960, Koufax went from allowing 7.58 hits allowed per nine innings pitched to only 6.453 per nine innings. He also dramatically improved his HRs allowed rate from 1.143 per nine innings to only .640 per nine innings after 1960. These, as well as the above mentioned lower BB's rate helped convert him from struggling pitcher to one of the greatest of all time. Cutting his HRs in half really allowed him to cut down on the runs against him in the low scoring 1960's.
