Bio/Historical NoteSpikes worn by Cleveland Indians pitcher Mike Clevinger in various games this season, including September 22 against the Red Sox, in which he struck out six batters, recording his 200th strikeout of the season in the second inning. The milestone made Cleveland the first team ever to feature four different 200-strikeout pitchers in one season (the others being Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Bauer, and Corey Kluber). These spikes also feature Disney characters from the movies Lilo and Stitch and Moana, with the phrase "Make Baseball Fun Again" written on the back of the right shoe.
