Does anyone know?
The origin of the tradition of throwing the ball around the infield after a strikeout? Those older folks here, was that done when you were a kid? Seems like it’s done now even down to little league.

That only occurs after a strikeout with no runners on base.

Otherwise they would just be standing around for a minute or two...
