I was at the Nats game where Max Scherzer had his 20 strikeouts vs. the Tigers' Jordan Zimmermann, and it was absolutely amazing to witness history! BandForever ( talk) 21:56, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
I have seen references on the Internet to Charlie Sweeney and Hugh Daily both striking out 19 batters in a game in 1884. Researching. Vidor 23:01, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
It does say baseball game not MLB game so technically, the minor leagues, japanese leagues and virtually any league would count, right? Mglovesfun 21:57, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Is the whole "strike out his age" tidbit really necessary for this article? -- Mount Molehill ( talk) 10:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't the extra innings strikeouts label how many innings the game went? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.132.62.198 ( talk) 20:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
Quote: "The record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game by a minor league pitcher was set by Ron Necciai, who struck out all 27 batters in a Class-D game between the Appalachian League Bristol Twins and the Welsh Miners (May 13, 1952).[7]"
"All 27 batters" is misleading. Necciai got one out on a groundball. He also had a four strikeout inning due to an error or passed ball to get to 27. WHPratt ( talk) 13:32, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Does anyopne else feel that Randy Johnson should be removed from the list of "20" section and moved to the "Extra Innings" section? While Johnson did strike out 20 in nine innings pitched, it was not in a nine-inning game, as the title of the article suggests. The game went into extra innings. HidyHoTim ( talk) 03:22, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
The image of Kerry Wood really should be of him in a Cubs uniform. He spent little time with the Indians, and had his 20 K game as a Cub. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.112.19.46 ( talk) 19:37, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
1) I think there needs to be an explanation as to why 18 games is meaningful? I know that the 3K strikeout club is a regularly trouted number, but is 18K's in a game similarly paraded about? I mean, why not 19 or why not 17? Without such reasoning, the cut off seems arbitrary/random---which could be seen as grounds for deletion. (I'm not advocating for its deletion, but think there needs to be something in there as to why 18 is being used.)
2) I found it disconcerting to see Nolan Ryan's name listed with a cross. On most pages I visit, the cross is used to designate somebody who is dead; so my first thought was "Did Ryan die and I didn't know about it?" Is the cross used unifromally accross baseball articles? If not, then another symbol might be considered. 74.124.47.11 ( talk) 16:13, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Should the table of "18 or more in extra-inning games" be expanded to include a mention of the number of innings played (or pitched)? It seems an important bit of information. -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 21:41, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
In the lede:
Then when I scroll down to the table, I see Charlie Sweeney listed as having pitched for the Providence Grays against the Boston Beaneaters in a game taking place on June 7, 1884. However, it lists him as getting 19 strikeouts. Is the table wrong, or is the sentence in the introductory paragraph wrong? Or is the sentence just confusing and/or misleading? It may be attempting to indicate that Charlie Sweeney was the first player to strike out at least 18 batters in a single game (thus linking it to the idea of only listing performances that meet this minimum metric), but its wording and structure seem to at least somewhat imply that he struck out precisely 18 batters in said game. While it is not technically incorrect in either case, I'm thinking this sentence needs to be re-worded to be slightly less ambiguous.
Also: There is a mysterious " " character in between "18" and "batters" in the aforementioned sentence, as opposed to a literal space, and I have no clue why.

I fail to see why so much emphasis is placed on 18 strikeouts. The article leads with this, when in fact it should start with the record, and end on 18 (if it all). -- That man from Nantucket ( talk) 21:08, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
