Trivia Tuesday: Pitchers with the most strikeouts since 2012

Apr 4, 2017, 7:50 AM

Follow @AZSports...

For a pitcher, the strikeout is a glamour stat.

Let’s face it, stadiums around baseball don’t post some sort of counting graphic that keeps track of groundball outs.

People love the K (or the backward K) on the scorecard and baseball’s currently got some great pitchers in terms of racking up this stat.

That’s your Trivia Tuesday challenge — name the game’s top 25 pitchers in terms of strikeouts over the last five seasons.

We’ve given you the number of Ks they have and the teams they’ve accumulated them for.

You’ve got eight minutes on the clock — good luck! Don’t swing and miss!
