‘Never seen anything quite as special’: Aidan King’s 20 K game still hard to believe

King said that he lost track during of what number he was at after he whiffed the first 10 batters of the game. By the time he walked off the mound earning the first playoff win in Snyder history, King said he heard the number and didn’t think it was accurate. The win sends the Cardinals on the road to face top-seeded Pensacola Catholic on Saturday night.

Added Snyder head baseball coach Zach Osbeck: “I’ve never seen anything quite as special as what I witnessed last night.” The feat is even more rare at the Major League Baseball level than it is in high school. Three big leaguers — Washington’s Max Scherzer, the Cubs’ Kerry Wood and Boston’s Roger Clemens — have notched 20 Ks in a game. No high schooler in Florida has hit that number this season.

“From a very young age, say like 9 , they’re always like, ‘your velo is going to get there, but it’s all about the location.’ Because no matter what, if you throw 95, or if you throw 75, if you leave it down the middle, it’s going to get hit at some point in time,” King said. “So, working the corners is going to be very important to you.”
