The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost a ton of pitchers to injuries this season, but Monday they’re getting a pretty good one back. After not pitching at all in his first season with the Dodgers due to elbow surgery in 2023, Shohei Ohtani is returning to the pitchers mound. Ohtani made 86 starts from 2018-23 with the Angels, posting a 3.01 ERA with 608 strikeouts and a top-5 finish in Cy Young voting in 2022. When Ohtani takes the bump on Monday night against the San Diego Padres he’ll make Dodgers history by breaking Don Drysdale’s record for most home runs as a Dodger with at least one start at pitcher.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Ohtani led the American League in strikeouts per nine innings at 11.9 in 2022 with 219 total. With that being said, can you name the active MLB pitchers to strikeout at least 200 batters in one season?
Good luck!
