This is a major rewrite to the rules, as the catcher was not previously credited with putouts on strikeouts. Now the catcher is credited with the putout, and the pitcher is credited with the strikeout, but not the putout.
Huh?
The catcher has gotten the putout for decades, if not forever.
e.g.
Walter Johnson
3508 K's
292 Putouts.
