Cleveland Guardians pitchers with 200+ strikeout seasons | MLB Immaculate Grid Sept. 22

Old timer Rob Feller holds the single-season Cleveland single-season strikeout record, fanning 348 during the 1946 season.

The right-hander spent his entire 18-year career pitching in Cleveland. During that time, he was the AL innings leader five times and led the MLB in wins on six occasions.

After his retirement in 1956, Feller became the president of the MLBPA and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. When he retired, his 2,581 strikeouts were third on the all-time leaderboard.

Meanwhile, 1965 AL ERA champ Sam McDowell posted six consecutive 200+ strikeouts seasons between 1965 and 1970.

The 6-foot-5 left hander was known for his dominating fastball and ability to get out of jams. A six-time All-Star, McDowell departed the club in 1972, and went to the San Francisco Giants. His 8.86 strikeouts pe nine innings places him eighth on the all-time list in that category.

The most recent Cleveland hurler to put up a 200-strikeout season was Corey Kluber, who fanned 222 batters in 2018. A two-time Cy Young winner during his time in Cleveland, Kluber posted a league-best 2.25 ERA in 2017.

He also led MLB in WHIP, complete games and wins. Now a member of the Boston Red Sox, injuries have limited Kluber to just nine starts this year, and he owns an ERA over seven.

Gaylord Perry's 1972 Cy Young-winning season in Cleveland was legendary. After coming to the team from the San Francisco Giants, Perry posted a staggering 29 complete games out of his 40 starts and ended with a league-best ERA of 1.92, striking out 234.

Over the next four seasons in Cleveland, Perry would surpass the 200-K marker in every season. In 1975, he was traded to the Texas Rangers and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.
