The 'League leaders in MLB strikeouts since 2000' quiz

Created on April 17, 2025  |  Total tries: 4397  |  Average Score: 40.0 out of 51  (78%)  |  Quiz FAQ   

The 2025 season for the Atlanta Braves is off to a disastrous start, but help is on the way in the form of ace Spencer Strider. Strider made his first start since April 2024 -- going into the sixth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays while allowing five hits and two runs and striking out five. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. Despite Strider's return, the Braves lost 3-1 and fell to 5-13 on the season. They'll need all the help they can get to turn the season around before it is too late. With that being said, how many of the league leaders in Ks for both the American and National League since the year 2000 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
