Through games played on September 12, the toughest player to strikeout in the National League is Yadier Molina of the Cardinals who has struckout 29 times in 441 at bats for an average of 1 strikeout per 15.2 at bats. The American League leader is Yuniesky Betancourt of the Mariners who has struckout 35 times in 502 at bats for an average of 1 strikeout per 14.3 at bats. It was actually Jeff Keppinger who only struckout 24 times in 459 at bats for a ratio of 19.125 at bats per K. Yadier Molina had 29 k's in 444 at bats for a ratio of 15.31 at bats per K.

There have been three pitchers to strikeout 20 batters in one game and one pitcher to strikeout 21 batters in a game. The three to strikeout 20 were Kerry Wood, Roger Clemens, and Randy Johnson. All three struckout all those batters in a nine inning game. The pitcher to strikeout 21 batters, Tom Cheney, needed 16 innings. Cheney's 21 strikeouts is the MLB record for strikeouts by a pitcher in a single game.
