There's something odd about that plan. It's doing both a seq scan and a
bitmap scan on "items", but I can't see stats table being mentioned
anywhere. Looking at the row count, I believe that seq scan is actually
on the stats table, not items like it says above. Is that really a
verbatim copy of the output you got?
Which version of Postgres is this?
You could try rewriting the query like this:
SELECT keyId, sortNum,
(SELECT count(*) FROM stats s WHERE s.keyId = i.keyId) AS stats_cnt
FROM items i
WHERE i.sortNum > 123
ORDER BY sortNum
LIMIT 50
