It's the symbol used to denote a strikeout. It comes from the letter "k" in the word "struck". "S" is not used instead because that was originally used to signal a sacrifice.

I have been a baseball fan since I was 7 years old. I went to watch the Atlanta Braves when I was 9 back in 1989 at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. This was back when the Braves were absolutely horrible and they played the San Francisco Giants that night. The Giants whooped the Braves 23-8 and Will Clark hit two home runs that night. I was never really a fan of Will Clark after that but it always sticks out in my mind that he hit TWO home runs that night. Wake and I are from the same county in Florida and my best friend played at the same college (FIT).

In all ball games, professional or not, K = strikeout.

The 'K' in MLB stands for a strikeout.

A regular K means the batter struck out swinging. If you see a backwards K that means the batter struck out looking.
