There have been more than 215,000 games in MLB history, but only more than 300 no-hitters have been thrown, meaning that the members of the no-hit club are in the midst of a pretty elite company.
No-hitters come in all shapes and sizes, with no two no-no looks the same. Below you can see the most recent no-hitter from every team, every perfect game, and more.
No-hitter vs perfect game
A true game only occurs when the pitcher does not allow a single baserunner in the game, as in 27 batsmen and 27 batsmen are downed. A no-hitter baserunners are allowed to hit on foot, pitch, error and forwards. Not every perfect game is a no-hitter, but every no-hitter is not a perfect game.
Postson no-hitter
In baseball history, only two no-hitters have been thrown in the postseason.
On October 8, 1956, Game 5 of the World Series was Don Larson’s first game for the Yankees against the Dodgers.
The late, legendary Hall of Famer Roy Halladay included Larsen as the second man to throw a no-hitter in the postseason for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2010 NLDS when he was a no-hit from the Cincinnati Reds.
