WATCH: Spencer Strider strikes out nine against Miami

The Braves flamethrower had all his stuff working against Miami

Yeah we're used to seeing Spencer Strider strike out batters by now - he leads MLB in both total strikeouts (146) and strikeout rate (14.3 K/9) - but it's still fun to watch. 

Strider punched out nine more Marlins in just six and two-thirds innings against Miami. 

And as always, Pitching Ninja has the receipts. 

Strider did it with elevated fastballs, like these two strikeouts in the 3rd inning:

Quadzilla 🔥🔥

He punched out three straight Marlins in the middle innings, complete with a flourish on strike three:

And Strider, who has been mixing in more changeups recently, set up the down-and-away slider perfectly:

Strider finished the outing with six hits, three runs (two earned), one walk and nine strikeouts in six and two-thirds innings, using 109 pitches (71 strikes) to do it. 

Atlanta leads 4-3 as we head to the home half of the seventh inning.
