Under 30, Closest to 3000 K's

As John Smoltz records his 3,000th strikeout, let's take a look at the list of active pitchers under 30-years old with the most strikeouts in their career.

Of the six active pitchers in the 3,000K club, Pedro is the only one who is not over 40-years old. Santana's 162-game average is about 220 strikeouts so he'll need to continue at this rate for at least seven more seasons through the age of 36. The pitchers on this list will likely need to pitch to about 40-years old in order to accomplish the 3KK.
