One actually needs to take to whole tail, so it's the sum of all the outcome probabilities from 7 Ks all the way up to 76 Ks.

I'll defer on the interpretation, but I'd also note that Ruth struck out 112 left-handed batters in their 733 at-bats against, and Cobb's splits aren't nearly as divergent.

Ruth
Cobb
