Single Season Leaders for Strikeouts in the National League

Each of the players holds a dubious mark in baseball history and each of them could easily be a pitchers great moment and two innings later be a pitchers call to the bullpen. These men on this chart each whiffed out more than their fellow players more often in a single season than any other players in the history of the game.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time single season leaders in National League strikeouts. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"Don't talk to baseball scouts about football. They'll moan about all the sure-shot phenoms they’ve lost to the gridiron. Ask them instead about Adam Dunn, a towering talent with 'aw shucks' charm who’s almost too good to be true. He quit college football after his freshman year and became a big-league All-Star by age 21. Cincy fans think their 'Dunn deal' is the real deal. No one—including Adam—is likely to disagree." - JockBio.com (Adam Dunn Biography)
