Re: Trivia
Bubbles yes it is
According to good ol' google:
Tom Cheney holds the all-time Major League Baseball (MLB) record for the most strikeouts in a single game, recording 21 strikeouts in a 16-inning complete-game victory for the Washington Senators against the Baltimore Orioles on September 12, 1962.The record for the most strikeouts in a standard 9-inning game is 20, shared by several pitchers:
*the AI overview lists a handful of names and dates of the feat for each. Tbh I just didn't care enough to also copy and paste all that lol*
Although if you were referring to the pitch count, THAT is not a record
Google's answer to that is:
The record for the most pitches by one pitcher in a single Major League Baseball (MLB) game is 360 pitches, thrown by Leon Cadore in 1920. Pitch counts were not officially tracked during the early 1900s, but historical estimates credit Cadore with this total across an unprecedented 26 innings. For the modern era, the unofficial record belongs to Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, who threw 235 pitches in a 13-inning game against the Boston Red Sox on June 14, 1974.
