A relief pitcher reached the all-time strikeout record for MLB relievers by recording his 1,364th strikeout. The milestone came during a season in which the same pitcher has maintained strong performance while pitching for Boston. The record had previously been held by another reliever. The new mark reflects the cumulative total of strikeouts accumulated over multiple seasons.
Context of the achievement Strikeout totals for relievers are tracked separately from those of starting pitchers. Reaching the top of the reliever list requires consistent appearances over many years. The current season has seen the pitcher continue to add to the total at a pace that produced the record-setting strikeout.
