Pitching: Strikeouts

1. The pitcher who throws the third strike is credited with the strikeout,
2. The pitcher is credited with a strikeout even if the batter reaches first on the
dropped third strike rule. Score KPB or KWP, whichever the case.
technically - the catcher gets the credit for the out on a K, pitcher just gets the K credit.
score: K/put out 2 (swinging or looking strike out)
So the K is just pitching stats not an out. Check any college/NPF stats and you see the put outs the catchers rack up!
