I could only get data going back to 1957, but Silva easily has the best walk numbers during that period. Nobody else walked fewer than 18 batters in 25+ starts.
This list should give you the top 100:

Silva has the post-1900 record. In 1876, George Zettlein started 25 g, and allowed 6 walks in 234 innings. Of course, in 1876, it took 9 balls to issue a walk.

Could be broke this year...Paul Byrd of Cleveland has allowed 3 walks in 10 starts...his Strikeout/Walk ratio is 10.78 to 1--next closest is 5.33 to 1
