Way back in the dark ages of baseball, when a batter struck out, it was said that he had "struck." Letters were used for scoring then just as they are now, but the letter "S" was already being used for sacrifice, so they assigned "K," the last letter of the word struck, to stand for "a player who missed the ball in three swings."
