Unbelievable Strikeout Records Shattered: Which Pitchers Reign Supreme in Postseason and World Series History?
- 15 – Sandy Koufax, Los Angeles Dodgers (1963 World Series Game 1 vs. New York Yankees)
- 14 – Carl Erskine, Brooklyn Dodgers (1953 World Series Game 3 vs. New York Yankees)
Most Strikeouts in a World Series Game by a Rookie
11 – Don Newcombe, Brooklyn Dodgers (1949 World Series Game 1 vs. New York Yankees)
Newcombe may have set the MLB record for Ks in a World Series game by a rookie, but he ended up taking the loss after Yankees first baseman Tommy Henrich led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a walk-off homer. Newcombe’s 11 strikeouts also tied the World Series record for most by a losing pitcher.
