    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 2017 KINGS OF K’S On Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, six-time All-Star Chris Sale registered the 1,500th strikeout of his Major League career. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Sale reached the milestone in his 1,290th career inning, the fewest numbers of innings needed for any pitcher in Major League history. Kerry Wood was the next fastest, accomplishing the feat over 1,303 innings of work, followed by Hall of Famers Pedro Martinez (1,337 IP), Randy Johnson (1,365.2 IP) and Nolan Ryan (1,384.2 IP). In addition, the dominant left-hander has logged 264 punchouts across 27 starts in his fi rst season with the Red Sox. Per Elias, only four other pitchers in MLB history have logged that many strikeouts in their fi rst season with a Club. Johnson holds the record, having recorded 364 strikeouts in his premier season with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1999, trailed by Ryan (301), Roger Clemens (292), and Max Scherzer (276). The table below details each ace’s historical season with his new Club. Washington’s Scherzer made history Monday night after tallying 10 punchouts across 7.0 innings pitched against the Miami Marlins. With the outing, Scherzer joined Sale as the eighth hurler in MLB history to log at least 230 strikeouts over his fi rst 25 starts of a season. Sale, who accomplished the feat following his start on August 19th, notched 250 punchouts over his fi rst 25 outings. Across MLB history, six other pitchers have tallied that many strikeouts though their fi rst 25 outings of a season: Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax (1965) and Ryan (1973, 77, 89); Clemens (1988), Hall of Famers Johnson (1995, 97-2001) and Marinez (1997, 99, 2000), as well as Curt Schilling (2002).
