Not many people will argue that the sharp rise in strikeouts over the last decade or so is a good thing for Major League Baseball, but it'll nonetheless be a hard trend to reverse for at least one reason.
The stuff pitchers are packing? It's good. As in, devastatingly good.
We could elaborate by pointing to league-wide increases in, say, fastball velocity and spin rate since the dawn of the Statcast era in 2015. Instead, we figured it would be more fun to round up 10 individual pitches—though we did cheat with a two-for-one special in one case—that we think are the most unhittable in MLB today.
