Modern era, and generally recognized as "the" record because the game is no longer played as in the Olde Dayes: Nolan Ryan, 383, 1973.
All-time: Matt Kilroy, 513, 1886. Played for the Baltimore Orioles of the American Association, 20 year old rookie, went 29-34, 3.37, 182 walks, 583.0 innings pitched, 1.129 WHIP, started 68 games, 66 complete. Yeah, things were different back then.
On the complete list, Ryan's mark ranks #8.

Hi, I don't think any pitcher will, with an average 32.4 starts per year they would need to have over 11 K's per game. Unless a pitcher can go 8-9 innings every game then the 383 is tough enough to catch. The high salaries & how the game has changed as far as pitching specialists from the 7th inning on prevent them from a complete game.

Matt Kilroy Kd 513 batters in 1886.
If you want to look at K/9 innings for starting pitchers here are the top ten seasons.
Rank - Player (age) - Strikeouts/9IP - Year Throws
1. Randy Johnson* (37) - 13.410 - 2001L
2. Pedro Martinez (27) - 13.205 - 1999 R
3. Kerry Wood (21) - 12.582 - 1998 R
4. Randy Johnson* (36) - 12.559 - 2000 L
5. Randy Johnson* (31) - 12.345 - 1995 L
6. Randy Johnson* (33) - 12.296 - 1997 L
7. Randy Johnson* (34) - 12.119 - 1998 L
8. Randy Johnson* (35) - 12.059 - 1999 L
9. Pedro Martinez (28) - 11.779 - 2000 R
10. Randy Johnson* (38) - 11.562 - 2002 L
The Big Unit dominates the list... appearing 7 times. And one name is notably absent -- No No Nolan is a no show.
The top closer in terms of SO/9IP for a single season is Eric Gagne.
In 2001 He averaged 14.98 SO/9 IP.
He pitched in 77 games, closed 67, saved 55, 137 SOs in 83.1 IP. His ERA was 1.20. He gave up 37 hits, walked 20 batters. Hitters averaged .133, had on OBP of .199 and a SLG of .175.
Those numbers are sick!
