Unbelievable Strikeout Records Shattered: Which Pitchers Reign Supreme in Postseason and World Series History?
- 15 – Five Players Tied (Gerrit Cole, Roger Clemens, Livan Hernandez, Mike Mussina, Sandy Koufax)
Most Strikeouts in a Postseason Game by a Rookie
15 – Livan Hernandez, Florida Marlins (1997 NLCS Game 5 vs. Atlanta Braves)
As just a 22-year-old rookie, Livan Hernandez dominated the 101-win Braves and their lineup filled with Hall of Famers. He allowed just three hits and one run in his complete-game 15-strikeout outing, leading the Marlins to a pivotal victory on the way to the title.
- 14 – Mike Boddicker, Baltimore Orioles (1983 ALCS Game 2 vs. Chicago White Sox)
- 14 – John Candelaria, Pittsburgh Pirates (1975 NLCS Game 3 vs. Cincinnati Reds)
- 11 – Don Newcombe, Brooklyn Dodgers (1949 World Series Game 1 vs. New York Yankees)
- 10 – Tim Belcher, Los Angeles Dodgers (1988 NLCS Game 2 vs. New York Mets)
- 10 – Dave Righetti, New York Yankees (1981 ALDS Game 2 vs. Milwaukee Brewers)
Most Strikeouts in a World Series Game
17 – Bob Gibson, St. Louis Cardinals (1968 World Series Game 1 vs. Detroit Tigers)
In this previously mentioned matchup with Detroit ace and 31-game winner Denny McLain, Gibson fanned six of the first seven batters and cruised to a historic performance. He would go on to win the National League Cy Young and Most Valuable Player Awards after going 22-9 with a microscopic 1.12 earned-run average.
