The Thursday Thinker: More than a strikeout an inning

Having pitchers who can strikeout multiple batters an inning is advantageous to a team. It’s few balls that get put into play, meaning fewer opportunities for a team to score. Of course, maintaining a strikeout rate that high is hard to do, so not many players can do it. Since 2000, the Brewers have had 20 pitchers who have managed a strikeout rate of 10+ K/9. How many of them can you name in 4 minutes?

Once you’re done, be sure to post your score in the comments. If you manage to get all 20, post your time as well. It’s all on the honor system, but it’s also just for fun, so don’t cheat. Also, be warned that the comments may contain spoilers. (If you want to be kind, use spoiler text as well when discussing players in the comments.)
