In baseball, a strikeout occurs when a pitcher throws three strikes to a batter during his time at bat. Seventy-three different pitchers have struck out three batters on nine consecutive pitches in a half-inning of a Major League Baseball (MLB) game , the most recent being Santiago Casilla of the San Francisco Giants on May 17, 2015. Four players have accomplished the feat—commonly known as an immaculate inning—more than once in their career; Lefty Grove, Nolan Ryan, and Randy Johnson each did it twice, while Sandy Koufax accomplished the feat three times. No player has ever struck out four batters on twelve pitches in an inning. John Clarkson was the first player to strike out three batters on nine pitches, doing so in the third inning for the Boston Beaneaters against the Philadelphia Quakers on June 4, 1889.〔 〕 Out of the 74 pitchers who have accomplished the feat, 57 were right-handed and 17 pitched left-handed. Thirteen of these players (including nine active pitchers) have played for only one major league team. Five pitchers—Roger Clemens, Bob Gibson, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martínez and Nolan Ryan—are also members of the 3,000 strikeout club. Sloppy Thurston, Wade Miley and Ryan are the only rookies to have attained the milestone. Ryan struck out three batters on nine pitches in the American League and National League, becoming the only player to achieve the feat in both leagues of MLB.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://baseballhall.org/hof/ryan-nolan )〕 Danny Jackson is the sole player to pitch an immaculate inning in the World Series.〔 Once a relatively uncommon feat -- there were no known immaculate innings thrown from 1929 through 1952 -- there has been at least one immaculate inning (and often more) thrown every year since 2006. In total, 38 of the 77 of the known immaculate innings have been thrown since 1997. Of the players eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame who pitched an immaculate inning, twelve have been elected and five were elected on the first ballot. Players are eligible for the Hall of Fame if they have played in at least ten major league seasons, and have either been retired for five seasons or deceased for at least six months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rules for Election )〕 No player has ever pitched an immaculate inning in the MLB All-Star Game, with the closest being a 10-pitch inning (3K, 9S, 1B) from Jacob deGrom in 2015. ==Players== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Major League Baseball pitchers who have struck out three batters on nine pitches」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
