Team strikeouts thrown per game is the same measure as team strikeouts per nine innings except only total games played are used instead of total innings pitched.
More about Team Strikeouts Thrown Per Game
Due to extra inning games this figure will almost always be slightly higher for a pitching staff than team strikeouts per nine innings (but not by very much). Team strikeouts have risen substantially in the last few years, including a record-breaking figure of 1,428 by the Detroit Tigers in 2013 which amounted to just under a full strikeout for every inning pitched, which was nearly 50% more team strikeouts per game than the team at the bottom of the list.
