A Quote by Dizzy Dean

Heck, if anybody told me I was setting a record (strikeouts in a game on July 30, 1933) I'd of got me some more strikeouts.

I don't try for strikeouts, but batters just swing and miss. I'd exchange strikeouts for more innings. As a starter, my job is to go deep into the game. When you get strikeouts, you throw a lot of pitches and sometimes you come out early.

Johan Santana

Strikeouts are something that just happen. You don't go for strikeouts, because your pitch count gets too high. When you do get that opportunity, you have to put them away with whatever is working that day.

Gerrit Cole

There were a small number of voices that said, 'Darvish only cares about strikeouts.' Although I may have had strikeouts in my mind, fans, team, teammates and team staff were always my top priority.

Yu Darvish

Out of ten swings at the bat, you get maybe seven strikeouts, two base hits, and if you are lucky, one home run. The base hits and the home runs pay for all the strikeouts

Marc Andreessen

Strikeouts are part of my game.

Max Scherzer

My goal is to get outs as soon as I can. Strikeouts aren't that big a deal to me.

Eli Manning

I'm probably the only relief pitcher who has more saves than strikeouts.

Dan Quisenberry

Do I want someone to get more hits than me? No. Do I want someone to hit more home runs than me? No. Do I want someone to have more RBI than me? No. I get a kick out of seeing the all-time leaders and my name's on top of every one, with the exception of strikeouts. I get a kick out of that.

George Brett

My first record I ever got was 'Full Moon Fever.' My dad gave me a copy when I was maybe nine years old or something. And I listened to the heck out of that record. I loved that record.

Laura Jane Grace

I'm looking to generate strikeouts in every way I can.

Max Scherzer

I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

Willie Stargell

You feel like a stud out there when people swing and miss. As I've gotten older, I've preached to our young guys that strikeouts are sexy, but outs are outs, man, no matter how you get them. It's a lot cooler for me pitching in the seventh or eighth inning than it is going 5 1/3. Your manager likes it a lot more, too.

Tim Hudson

Strikeouts are important. Anytime you can generate an out without the ball being put in play, there's nothing that can be done in those situations.

Max Scherzer

Like I'm seeing Chris Sale; he's got a similar pitching style and strikes guys out a lot. Why are people only talking about my strikeouts and all that stuff?... Why not the other guys, who have similar numbers and pitch counts?

Yu Darvish

You can be on top of the world one day and the next day you can go 0-for-4 with four strikeouts.
