    The current record for strikeouts in a 9-inning Major League baseball game is 20 (Clemens, Wood). What is the maximum possible by one pitcher in a 9-inning game?

    		Unlimited, because if the catcher drops the ball on the third strike and the batter reaches first base safely it is recorded as a strikeout but the batter is safe.

    		That's correct, baby love. The MLB record for strikeouts by a pitcher in a half inning is 4 or 5, as I recall. In college, somebody got six, I think.

    		I WOULD SAY 27,AS THERE ARE ONLY 3 OUTS PER HALF INNING, WHETHER THE BALL IS CAUGHT OR NOT.
