9 Adam Liberatore Waynesboro ’07-8 81
10 Brad Mills Harrisonburg ’05 71
11 Greg Burke New Market ’03 61

Will Harris has a chance to take the top spot on this list in 2018… with Chad Kuhl coming fast. If Kuhl starts 30 games, he will face more batters, therefore more chances for strikeouts…

Chris Perez is the only name on both lists, although Will Harris will most likely move on this year. Brad Ziegler is up there, too, but he doesn’t strike out too many- he will move up to #11, but probably not #10.
