In modern day baseball, teams generally have five starting pitchers, and they take it in turn to start a game every fifth day (hence the phrase rotation). Sometimes, if the schedule pans out, a team can get away with a four man rotation, and in the distant past some teams managed a three man rotation.
Some pitchers, like the starter, might pitch 6 or 7 innings in a game while a relieveâ¦r may come in and only pitch to 1 batter. The chances are that the average starter will have more strikeouts than the average reliever. However, it is pretty easy to say how many strikeouts are in the average MLB game. In the National League for 2009, there were 1295 games played and 18205 strikeouts recorded. This averages out to 14 strikeouts per National League game.
