No Hitter Records by Baseball Almanac

No Hitter Records

No-hitter records set by the pitchers who achieved near pitching perfection. One of the most difficult record books to get into here at Baseball Almanac and one that is truly an honor to be mentioned in.

"He's (Nolan Ryan [major league record holder for no hitters during a career]) baseball's exorcist, scares the devil out of you." - Detroit Tigers Outfielder Dick Sharon (1973)

No Hitter Records

On June 11, 1938, Johnny Vander Meer pitched a no hitter. During his next start, June 15, 1938, he pitched another no hitter becoming the first and only pitcher to ever throw consecutive no hitters.

Did you know that the Philadelphia Phillies hold the National League and Major League team record for longest time span (fifty-seven seasons) between no hit games?

EVERY single American League, National League, Union Association, and American Association no hitter (including many box scores) are listed on Baseball Almanac's pitching menu.
