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. Dec 02 05, 2:44 PM

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. Dec 02 05, 3:43 PM

I WOULD SAY 27,AS THERE ARE ONLY 3 OUTS PER HALF INNING, WHETHER THE BALL IS CAUGHT OR NOT. Dec 04 05, 9:24 PM

What is the record for the most runs scored in one full inning of Major League Baseball? Which major league baseball team has scored the most runs in one single inning? At what inning, will a baseball game cancelled due to rain game be considered complete, like I doubt a team winning after one inning will be considered the winner if the game is stopped then, but I can see a team leading after eight full innings before the game is stopped to be considered the winner? What is the record for most broken bats in a major league baseball game?
