Who has the most strikeouts by a hitter? Who will be the MLB strikeout king? Will Giancarlo Stanton strikeouts get him in the record book? What about Bryce Harper strikeouts? Aaron Judge strikeouts?

In episode 8 (I think) of Baseball Bits, Foolish Baseball projects who will break the Reggie Jackson strikeout record. Candidates include Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Joey Gallo, and Justin Upton. We set out the criteria needed to break the all time strikeout record, but there are many ways to go about it. There are Joey Gallo strikeouts aplenty, but will he play long enough? Are there enough Mike Trout strikeouts to make up for his mediocre rate?

The answer to that, and more, in this episode. Not only do we review the candidates thoroughly, we also run a simulation in Out of the Park Baseball 20 to see who comes out on top. An OOTP 20 simulation is probably the best science we could have used, to be frank.

It's all about finding the future MLB career strikeout leader.
