No one is taking Randy Johnson's or Nolan Ryan's fastball for the team. I would guess that the biggest factor might be plate position for a lot of these players. A lot of players with 'good eyes' for walks have open stances that bring them up on the plate and allow them to not only pull the ball, but also to see the pitch more accurately as it comes to them. A stance like this also puts them in a good position to take the HBP whenever a pitcher throws inside and a bit up above the strike zone. As others have said in this thread, it's the stance that brings the HBP's, but I also think the stance is also a factor in the number of walks that these players are able to generate.
