May 2022

Kershaw sits at #26 in MLB's all-time strikeout list overall. Sutton is still ahead of him there (at #7), with 3,574 career strikeouts because Sutton also played for Houston, Milwaukee, Oakland and the California Angels.

Then again, Sutton pitched 5,282 innings in total, compared to just 2,477 for Kershaw so far (Kershaw is 34 years old).

But Nolan Ryan sits atop them all, of course. And he looks untouchable at 5,714 career strikeouts. Good luck to anyone catching him, especially the way starting pitchers are limited in today's game.
