Strikeout Streaks

Texas Rangers slugger Chris Davis extended his streak of games in which he has struck out to twenty last night. The MLB record as far as I can tell is 34, by pitcher Vida Blue in 1971. Among non-pitchers the record-holder is Mike Cameron who struck out in 26 consecutive games in 2001. Who have been the whiffmasters in Royals history?

Longest Strikeout Streak in Royals History (non-pitchers)

1. Mark Teahen - 22 (June 16 - July 14, 2007)
2. Calvin Pickering - 21 (August 23 - September 19, 2004)
3. Bo Jackson - 16 (July 1 - 18, 1987)
4. Bo Jackson - 15 (June 7 - 22, 1987)*
4. Bo Jackson - 15 (August 22 - September 6, 1989)
4. Bo Jackson - 15 (April 11 - May 3, 1990)
7. Steve Balboni - 13 (August 23 - September 5, 1986)
7. Bo Jackson - 13 (June 25 - July 13, 1989)
9. Steve Balboni - 12 (May 29 - June 24, 1984)
9. Steve Balboni - 12 (September 24 - October 5, 1985)
9. Bo Jackson - 12 (September 27, 1986 - April 10, 1987)
9. Kevin Young - 12 (July 11 - August 4, 1996)

My thoughts:

• Bo Jackson struck out a lot.
• In his June 7-22, 1987 strikeout streak, Bo posted a .986 OPS during his streak, easily the best hitting performance during any of these streaks. The worst performance on this list is also Bo, during his July 1-18, 1987 streak, which he posted a .538 OPS. He struck out 31 times during that streak, tops of anyone on this list.
• Pitchers Bruce Dal Canton and Bob Johnson both had seventeen game strikeout streaks, tops among Royals pitchers.
• The longest streak this year by a Royals player is Miguel Olivo at six (April 7-15).
• Wow, Kevin Young! Remember him?
  

Now, the opposite list.
Longest Streak of Games Without a Strikeout

1. Gail Hopkins - 33 (August 17, 1971 - July 8, 1972)
2. George Brett - 27 (July 2 - 30, 1976)
3. George Brett - 24 (July 29 - August 25, 1979)
4. Cookie Rojas - 22 (April 26 - May 24, 1973)
4. John Wathan - 22 (September 2, 1977 - May 5 ,1978)
4. Tom Poquette - 22 (June 9 - July 14, 1978)
7. Keith Lockhart - 21 (June 28 - July 22, 1996)
8. Vada Pinson - 20 (August 6 - September 21, 1975)
8. Pete LaCock - 20 (May 19 - July 2, 1977)
8. Pete LaCock - 20 (July 30 - August 24, 1979)

• George Brett did not strike out much at all
• Guys did not strike out a lot in the 70s
  
• I'll take the strikeout guys over the non-strikeout guys.
• Wow, Keith Lockhart! Remember him?
