Cy's 511 wins is the most untouchable record on this list. A pitcher in a 5-man rotation only gets 32.4 starts. A pitcher in a 4-man rotation, if anyone used a 4-man rotation anymore, would still only get 40.5 starts.
Hypothetical: If a pitcher pitched 25 years, was 100% injury free, never missed a start their entire career, and won at least half their games in a 4-man rotation (20.25 wins a season), they'd still be five wins short of the record.
For reference, Roger Clemens has 348 wins in 23 seasons. Clemens still has to win 163 more games (nearly half of his current career total) to reach 511. He is 45 years old, and won only seven games last season.
