White Sox's Colson Montgomery Ties Mark Reynolds' Season Strikeout Record with 223rd
Montgomery reached 223 strikeouts while also producing 31 home runs and 87 RBIs, putting him within reach of an unwanted major league record.
- On Thursday, Chicago White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery tied Mark Reynolds' single-season MLB record of 223 strikeouts during a game against the Kansas City Royals.
- Mark Reynolds established the original record of 223 strikeouts in 2009 with the Arizona Diamondbacks; Montgomery, a 24-year-old first-round draft pick, entered the day tied with former White Sox slugger Adam Dunn on the strikeout list.
- While Montgomery matched the total in 627 plate appearances, Reynolds required 662. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound shortstop has hit 31 home runs and driven in 87 runs this season.
- Chicago clinched a postseason berth during Thursday's victory. Montgomery faces a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies this weekend to potentially avoid setting a new, solitary record.
- Other players are nearing high strikeout totals, with Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber sitting at 218. Last year, James Wood nearly broke the record with 221 strikeouts while playing for the Nationals.
