Strikeouts for Troops is a project started by
Barry Zito to help wounded solders that are being treated at military hospitals. Each participating pitcher donates a certain amount of money depending on how many strikeouts they record in each season. After visiting a military hospital, Zito decided to help military families by starting the project.
Strikeouts for Troops works with other organizations such as the
Freedom Alliance.
