	Strikeout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, a strikeout or strike out (denoted by K, K-S, or SO) occurs when the batter receives three strikes during his time at bat.
		In scoring, a strikeout is recorded as a backward-facing K. Some scorers record strikeouts where the batter didn't swing at the last pitch with a backwards-facing K, also recorded as K-C.
		The use of "K" for a strikeout was invented by Henry Chadwick, a newspaper journalist.

	A New 3,000 Strikeout Club? \| BaseballLibrary.com
		While 3000 strikeouts is some time away, many other free swingers will soon join Jackson over the next 10 years in his 2000 strikeout club.
		Others creeping up on 1500 strikeouts in the next few years are the Indians' Jim Thome, Tampa Bay's Greg Vaughn, Cincinnati's Ken Griffey Jr., and Arizona's Matt Williams.
		The biggest strikeout number may still come from a younger player like Glaus, who is just 25-years old with 515 strikeouts in less than 1900 career at bats.

	The Baseball Analysts: A New Way to Measure Strikeout Proficiency
		Strikeouts per nine innings is very effective but strikeouts as a percentage of batters faced is even better.
		Posted by: anonymous at February 20, 2006 11:26 AM Strikeouts are important, but a pitcher can be quite successful without a high K-rate as long as he is consistently ahead in the count.
		His thesis is that pitchers who strikeout lots of batters and are efficient in their use of pitches are very effective pitchers.

	Fourth Outfielder: The Strikeout, TTO, and why Dodgers fans should be thinking about them - Part I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The considerable advantage in OPS was expected, as strikeouts and power have long been known to have a high correlation plus there is a bit of self selection since home runs are part of what makes someone a TTO hitter.
		The difference between a strikeout and any other type of out isn't overwhelming at all (3/100ths of a run or so, according to Click, as you point out), but it is undisputable.
		The real question is to what extent is it possible for hitters to cut down on strikeouts without sacrificing the other more positive aspects of their game (though I'm sure that's not a question hitters are oblivious too), and therefore if reducing strikeouts is really a lofty goal.
