In baseball, a strikeout occurs when a pitcher throws three strikes to a batter during his time at bat. [1] Twenty different pitchers have struck out at least 18 batters in a single nine-inning Major League Baseball (MLB) game, [a] the most recent being Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals on May 11, 2016.

K/9 (or SO/9) – Strikeouts per 9 innings pitched: strikeouts times nine divided by innings pitched; K/BB (or SO/BB) – Strikeout-to-walk ratio: number of strikeouts divided by number of base on balls; L – Loss: number of games where pitcher was pitching while the opposing team took the lead, never lost the lead, and went on to win
In baseball statistics, strikeouts per nine innings pitched (abbreviated K/9, SO/9, or SO/9IP) is the mean of strikeouts (or Ks) by a pitcher per nine innings pitched. It is determined by multiplying the number of strikeouts by nine, and dividing by the number of innings pitched.
Thus, it is possible for a pitcher to record more than three strikeouts in an inning. [3] As a result of this rule, 93 different pitchers have struck out four batters in a half-inning of a Major League Baseball (MLB) game, the most recent being Tyler Glasnow of the Tampa Bay Rays on July 7, 2023.
