Kerry Wood question, I bet someone knows the answer

[rocket]

Out of curiousity, how many pitches did Wood throw in his 20 strikeout game?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Retrosheet doesn't know.

I believe it was in the low 90's, IIRC.

No way. If so, WOW.

I thought you were gonna ask if he had a no trade clause in his contract.

I bought the game from MLB.com so it's on my computer, I suppose I could do an unofficial tally if no one finds it out in the next couple of days.

[ThePenguin11]

122 pitches, 84 for strikes.

After Wood finished his senior year 14-0, with an 0.77 ERA and 159 strikeouts in 81 innings, he was tapped by the Cubs and rewarded with a $1.265 million signing bonus. The weekend after the draft, in a state playoff series, Wood threw a 146-pitch two-hitter to win the opener of a doubleheader. Then, on 30 minutes' rest, he came back to pitch the nightcap, a 16-4 victory that he cemented by belting a grand slam.

 

That always makes me cry.
