Who can draft a Pitching Staff with the most Strikeouts? (ALL TIME Edition)

Three baseball minds compete against each other to draft five starting pitchers and three relief pitchers plus a team where they racked up K's to try to total the most strikeouts by the end of the draft. Once a team is drafted they are then off the board.

The Washington Senators existed twice, the first time they existed they became the Twins, and the second time they existed they became the Rangers

[@chasestankievech]

Was looking for this. That’s why the twins have 3 WS in their history, the two they won in MN (87&91) and the inherited from Wash in 1924

[@TwimsFan]

And the Senators that Walter Johnson was on became the Twins

[@bohelsel6986]

This trio is my favorite on the drafts

[@orionzb3lt]

an all time performance from dalton!!! only 3k away from the best possible lineup. his starting 5 were all stellar picks

[@Waldo2929]

Jolly got a little bit of a steal there with Smoltz since they counted the K's he had while as the Braves closer, not just his K's as a starter.

[@maxeddie1789]

He would’ve had more if he was starting and not relieving tho

[@Waldo2929]

@@maxeddie1789 we know that. But if he's being classified as a starter, he should technically only receive the K's from when he was an actual starter.

[@BaseballRoman]

@@Waldo2929could not agree more.

[@davidsorensen2116]

Nah, it's just like the homer drafts--you can slot them into that position if that was where they were the majority of the time. Smoltz was a starter who saw some time as reliever. You get credit for all Ks a pitcher had with the team. Whether they are a starter or reliever in the rotation depends on where they spent the most time.

[@davidpotter213]

​@davidsorensen2116 so you would've been OK with him picking his as a reliever and getting the starting Ks counted for him?

[@davidhuthmaker9851]

I am so proud of Dalton for picking Walter Johnson

[@yungmisfa7614]

He was born in the town im from in Kansas

[@edibleapeman]

I'd love to see a 9-man roster draft of lowest WAR. Basically, the worst value lineup would win. This would call on a different branch of overall baseball stat knowledge. Also, Jolly, you are a handsome man and I find the overall value of any JM video goes up whenever you're present. Keep being awesome, sir!

[@charliep123]

Bailey from Foolish Baseball would be great at this.

[@dfp_01]

Catcher Mike Matheny, Cards Shortstop Steve Jeltz, Phils I'm sure there are other good ones but those came to mind right away

[@perSWade3]

Got an idea to keep the home run/strikeout draft going. Before every episode, you pick a team for each person (maybe by a wheel spin, so it’s random) and they have to build a lineup/rotation with players from that team in a specific year. Basically like how you’ve been doing the drafts, but with teams

[@WillWinterson]

A WAR draft for stat nerds like me would be cool.

[@BendyDH]

Ted Williams top pick, he had 2 wars

[@JamesTundra]

[@mhhmmhhm3301]

Ryan is a breathe of fresh air. Love his vibes

[@poocrafter2]

This is interesting because there's plenty of all time greats with a lot of strikeouts, but most of them played for multiple teams and so didn't compile an insane amount with just 1 team. Randy Johnson in his 10 years with Seattle and 8 years with Arizona has fewer strikeouts with each than Sandy Koufax in his 12 years all with the Dodgers despite Randy having a larger K/9

[@funkychilldude]

Editing note: please leave the graphic of the scorecards up on the screen for longer. I know we were kinda trying to wait for the big reveal at the end but it’s fun to at least kinda try to figure out the math on the fly. Maybe just flash it on the screen for like 2 more seconds each time.

[@Cardsfan5]

I just hit pause

[@SportsCasters2326]

Very, very good video. Love how they mixed eras.

[@sethwoodhouse4797]

Damn Jolly thought you were also a pre-2000s ball knower but thinking Nolan Ryan played a lot with the Rangers is TOUGH

[@MC-bh3ff]

I "amidditley" don't know shit about baseball pre 2000. I thought that was a great pick lol. Why is every highlight of nolan ryan I've seen he's in a rangers jersey!?

[@shoukatsukai]

​@@MC-bh3ff There were not a lot of postseason highlights during his time with the Angels and Astros. Also because there is not a lot of 70-80s footage

[@Itsokay1990]

Does it bother anyone else that Jolly clearly has time to prepare for every single one of these videos?

[@Twaimz256]

Taking multiple Braves, dodgers, and cardinals getting unnoticed by all of them is wild

[@MrScarecrow24]

Only issue I see with this format is that it feels like the relievers might end up being pretty inconsequential considering how few actually stay with teams for extended periods of time. Otherwise, good fun!

[@zhirenzhu386]

Clemens is 1 for Red Sox. Interestingly, second place is Tim Wakefield (RIP) with 2k+.

[@kristopherwilson506]

filming this and having it come out a month later is nuts

[@BendyDH]

This is the way of the bulk recording. All the big KZbin channels do it, allows you to actually have days off as a content creator

[@Xansby]

10:30 isn’t that breaking the rules?

[@MLNYD]

There is a clear correlation between the age of a drafter’s earliest player and their standing. Dalton clinched it with the two earliest players selected while Jolly couldn’t get a name out earlier than the 90s that wasn’t a Met.

[@jimwillysjabber3011]

I love this format

[@21narc]

this format was pretty dope

[@yankees2864]

There were 2 versions of the Washington Senators, one to the Twins, one to the Rangers

That's crazy Jolly's total strikeouts is my date of birth in perfect order too 🤯

[@vidowatcher91]

Bob Feller made me realize we need a WAR draft. The highest WAR draft of the players who were drafted into war

[@wisyanksfangaming3434]

Fun fact Walter Johnson had a Twins MLB 9 Innings card with the Twins that has since been removed. There have been two Senators franchises, one became the Twins, one did become the Rangers

[@MrTheoGordon]

Would love to see hits next!!!

[@justin2173]

Damn John Hiller pitched 150 innings as a reliever for the 1974 Tigers. Almost an inning per game

[@Vega-bg4gb]

Ryans look at the end 😂😂

[@Cmass9]

I think people always associate Nolar Ryan with the Astros and Rangers because she’s he’s from Texas but some of his greatest years were in an Angels uniform

Hoping someone takes Old Hoss Radbourn

[@ahogg5960]

His most was for the Providence Steamrollers and it was only 1446 SOs. No idea how you'd count that against a team.

[@danplath1]

When you do these, everyone should get one "do over" or option to change one, but only at the very end. Would make it a lot more closer/interesting.

[@robertaBooey69]

Koufax didn’t pitch long at all 3:55 his arm went dead. Don Sutton and drysdale had more kershaw is the all time leader

[@BaseballRoman]

Are the strikeout numbers for John Smoltz listed including his time as a closer or just from when he was a starter? Shouldn’t have his RP strikeouts count when there’s a RP category.

[@nebxlatv]

Ik this is kinda dumb, but maybe y’all can do this, but with walks and whoever has the least amount of walks they win 🤷‍♂️

[@dfp_01]

I wouldn't have picked Nolan Ryan because I wouldn't have known which of his teams, if any, would put him into solid starter territory. Also, I thought Dave Stieb would've been a lot higher than Roy Halladay, but he clears him by only 163 strikeouts across their respective Blue Jays careers. And no Joe Nathan Twins pick? C'mon guys, it's only 561 strikeouts but still.

[@jwheatthins2465]

That 4 non blondes rendition was nice

[@brentb2228]

The Washington Senators had 2 different stints of existence right?

[@bodell82]

Yea the original Senators went to Minnesota in 1961 and got replaced immediately by the new Senators who went to Texas in 1972

[@qwertymanor]

Yeah they should have done better research

[@chasestankievech]

Correct, that is why the twins have 3 chips. The one the sens won in 1924, and there own two in 87 & 91

[@MichaelNeureiter]

The Washington Senators moved twice: to Minnesota in 1961 and after having a second team in Washington, moved to Texas in 1972.

[@Tristan_802]

The Walter Johnson pick is not controversial. After the Senators moved to Minnesota another Washington Senators team was created a few years later and moved again after like 10 years to Texas.

[@tucegs522]

i have an idea that might be kinda dumb but it’s the anti-strikeout draft. pretty much just trying to draft pitchers who pitched the most and barely struck guys out. so innings pitched minus strikeouts, and whoever ends with the highest number wins

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

Mets John Franco would have been a decent reliever one. He wasn't a huge strikeout guy but had 592 strikeouts for them.

[@MLNYD]

They were never gonna be picked when John Smoltz is in play for the Braves but I would've loved 30 seconds on Phil Niekro and Warren Spahn.

John Hiller? Who whaT? Me: Goes to his BR page.... 125 saves, but 545 games, 1242 innings, so only a 7.5 K/9 but with same team for 15 years. I don't think anyone but Lucas guesses him in a million years.

Ryan's legend was cemented in a Rangers uniform, but the foundation was put down elsewhere. Fun Fact: Those 939 SO came in the last five years of his career, between the ages of 42 and 46. Funner Fact: One of those was a 300 SO year in 1989, his first since 1977. Nolan Ryan was a fucking aberration.
