MLB Immaculate Grid August 23: Other Athletics players with 200+ strikeouts in a season

Frankie Montas: The 30-year-old New York Yankees pitcher enjoyed a highly successful time with the Athletics from 2017 to 2022.

Montas made his MLB debut with the Chicago White Sox in 2015 but was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers the same year. However, a rib injury forced him onto the sidelines, robbing him of any appearance with the Dodgers during his brief stint.

He was traded to Athletics in 2016 but had to wait until 2017 for his debut with the franchise. After a couple of underwhelming outings for the club, Montas started to live up to his name in 2019.

However, it was the 2021 season where he shattered several records by recording a career-best 207 strikeouts. Montas finished sixth in the American League Cy Young Award voting.

Dave Stewart: The three-time World Series winner with three different clubs is one of the most renowned pitchers to have played for the Athletics.

Stewart joined Oakland in 1986, having already won the World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981. However, he saved his best season from the mound for the A's in 1987, when he registered 205 strikeouts in a season.

Stewart helped the team to the 1989 World Series championship as he was named the World Series MVP.
