[seawolf17]

Let's do this.

9 K in 67 PA --

5 K in 56 PA --
5 K in 46 PA --

All of these guys were solid, long term major league starters except one of the 18 PA guys and the 15 PA guy. (And nobody's getting the 15 PA guy unless you cheat.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'll start with Dwight Gooden.

Nolan is never a bad guess in these situations, even though their careers only partially overlapped.

Maddux didn't strike out Tony Gwynn, ever.

Hershiser only got him twice in 88 PA.

Sid Fernandez?

Mark Langston (I'll take lefty strikeout kings of the 80s, for 600, Alex)

[Edgy MD]

Kevin Brown.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mike Scott

[Centerfield]

Rick Sutcliffe definitely struck out Tony Gwynn.

[seawolf17]

That's four strikeouts in a row, which is as almost many as Tony Gwynn had against those four guys COMBINED. (Langston zero, Brown zero, Sid 2, Scott 3)

edit: Sutcliffe three.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Pedro Martinez?
