A no-hitter is a baseball game in which no team manages to get a hit. A no-hitter, according to Major League Baseball (MLB), is a finished game in which no hits were collected by a club that batted for at least nine innings. A pitcher is said to have “thrown a no-hitter” if they stop the other club from getting a hit. The majority of times, a single pitcher who pitches a complete game records a no-hitter; a no-hitter pitched by two or more pitchers is referred to as a combined no-hitter.
Only 318 no-hitters have been thrown in MLB history since 1876, or an average of approximately two per year, making them a remarkably rare accomplishment for a pitcher or pitching staff. Reid Detmers of the Los Angeles Angels pitched a no-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 10, 2022, making it the most recent major league no-hitter by a single pitcher. On November 2, 2022, against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 4 of the 2022 World Series, Houston Astros starter Cristian Javier and bullpen pitchers Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero, and Ryan Pressly teamed to deliver the most recent combined no-hitter.
