The normal three- Chris Devenski, Will Harris, and Tyler Thornburg all had excellent 2016 seasons. Devenski, in fact, struck out more than 100- only the 2nd to do that in the last 10 years.

In case you’re curious, Brad Ziegler did not strike out more than 58 in one season, and Chad Kuhl ended 2016 with 53.
