Unbelievable MLB Strikeout Records That Will Leave You Speechless—Discover Who Dominated the Mound!
382 – Sandy Koufax, 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers
The youngest player ever to be elected to the Hall of Fame, Sandy Koufax would retire just a season after setting the previous best marker in the modern era. But at one point, even recording one of his 382 strikeout in 1965 looked in jeopardy.
Waking after a spring training start, Koufax found his arm black-and-blue with warnings from doctors he would only be able to pitch once a week. The Los Angeles Dodgers star turned to pain medication and eventually threw a league-leading 335.2 innings in taking the team to another pennant. He won a second unanimous Cy Young Award.
