Good morning, all, and welcome to the last pitching category and final Sporcle of 2020 (but not the final Sporcle Saturday; we press onward in 2021!). I hope this finds everyone having a restful final week of what's been a difficult year, to say the very least. A brief thank you to all who played Sporcle Saturday this year, and I hope you found some diversion and enjoyment here. I look forward to entertaining you in 2021.
So, the final pitching category: strikeouts. If you've been following along in this series, you'll likely be well-versed to knock out quite a few names on this list. However, there are some new names to add a bit of a challenge. To qualify, a pitcher must have struck out 100 or more batters in a season, which leaves 99 entries: how many can you name? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I've allotted 10 minutes for completion attempts.

Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
