I know, this Figueroa cat is pretty incredible.

Is Harden leading the league in K's?

 

If not, how?

[Careless]

Is Harden leading the league in K's?

 

If not, how?

Harden is in 16th place, 75 behind Lincecum (2/3 his total, basically). The how is that Lincecum has pitched 65 or so more innings. Their strikeout rates are basically the same
