Spencer Strider turned heads again Sunday and his body of work during his rookie season has him amongst elite company. Strider no hit the Phillies Sunday for 5 2/3 innings before Alec Bohm hit a solo home run. He struck out 10 more hitters and became the first rookie in modern-day franchise history to surpass 200 strikeouts. Going a step further, Strider recorded his 200th strikeout in his 130th inning which broke Randy Johnson’s record of 130 2/3 innings that he set back in 2001.
“It’s a good achievement,” Strider said when asked about reaching the 200 strikeout mark.
