More than three strikeouts in an inning Strikeout




the batter attempting advance first base after uncaught third strike, catcher has retrieved , throw first baseman record putout


if third strike not caught cleanly catcher, still recorded strikeout both pitcher , batter, batter not out becomes runner, , play still alive. (this not true when first base occupied , there fewer 2 outs; see uncaught third strike.) batter-runner may occupy first base unless defense tags him out or throws him out. therefore, pitcher can achieve more 3 strikeouts in 1 standard half-inning.


prior 1960, event occurred 8 times. first major league player credited feat ed cannonball crane of new york giants on october 4, 1888. has occurred in major league baseball 76 times. chuck finley accomplished feat on may 12 , august 15, 1999, anaheim angels , again on april 16, 2000, cleveland indians. pete richert of los angeles dodgers pitcher in mlb debut (april 12, 1962, against cincinnati reds). steve delabar struck out 4 men in 10th inning, , recorded win in 3-2 victory on chicago white sox on august 13, 2012, making him first pitcher in major league history record 4 strikeouts in inning.


for list of pitchers have achieved more 3 strikeouts in inning, including recent pitcher so, see list of major league baseball single-inning strikeout leaders.


five strikeouts in 1 inning has never occurred in regulation major league baseball game. has occurred @ least 3 times @ minor league level. mike schultz of lancaster jethawks struck out 5 batters in 1 inning on july 16, 2004, , garrett bauer of rockford riverhawks struck out 5 batters in 1 inning on july 1, 2008. such has never happened in major league play reflects not pitcher has gotten strikeout uncaught third strike, either


(1) second uncaught third strike happens 2 outs, whether or not runner on first base , batter safely reaches first base, or


(2) fewer 2 outs, first base clear of first baserunner reached base on uncaught third strike has since reached second or third base or scored without subsequent baserunner means @ first base. (with runner on first base , fewer 2 out, batter strikes out automatically out, although baserunners on base can advance @ own risk).


houston astros pitcher joe niekro struck out 5 minnesota twins batters in first inning of exhibition spring training game, april 7, 1976 @ new orleans. niekro s catcher, cliff johnson, charged 5 passed balls in inning. exhibition games not recorded in official statistics.
