This prompt is a little bit tricky. Currently, there is no player who has 3,000 strikeouts with the Yankees alone.

Their all-time strikeout leader, per Baseball Reference, is Andy Pettitte, who has just over 2,000. Still, players have earned 3,000 Ks and played for the storied franchise and that is the key to this prompt.

Roger Clemens is another player who qualifies for this prompt. He earned well over 4,000 strikeouts and played for the team for a few seasons. Phil Niekro also eclipsed the mark and played in New York for a little bit.
