How Nolan Ryan Pitched 7 No-Hitters 

You're right by technicality, of course. Halladay was incredible at his best

It's the greatest day ever so far! There are even better greatest days in the future!

Some of the best games ever pitched had stories of awful bullpen sessions before the game (Kerry Wood's 20K game). Thank you for sharing that!

Thanks so much! I hope it gets more traction eventually 😁

I'm glad to be the one to tell you about a guy that would have fit right in your era of baseball

wow, thanks so much, I put a lot of work into this one, I'm glad you appreciate it

please rub it in as many faces as you possibly can, you can say he's better than what people thought with CONFIDENCE!

@@BaseballAF facts! I always said it with confidence anyways, but people are always saying something about his walks. Who cares is what I say. Name another pitcher that dominated in the fashion Ryan did with his no hitters? No one that's who lol

@@thecaveman3503 We can revisit the topic when we see the next player get at least 4 no-hitters over the course of their career :)

@@BaseballAF lol facts

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks bud, it's appreciated lots

Those guys are two of my favorite players that I wish I saw!

I hope you enjoy!

To your point, I don't think we'll ever see a pitcher like Nolan Ryan ever again

Thanks mate!

thank you so very much! I put SO much effort into this one

I should have used that nickname at least once, but I'll save it for the next one ;)

thanks dude!

A guy named Harvey Haddix threw 12 perfect innings once because he couldn't get any run support and his team ended up losing to the braves.

If you could find the time span, I'd love to see it

@Baseball AF it was with the expos vs the Padres in 94 or 95....he took the mound im the 10th but allowed a bloop hit to bip roberts

Ah! Found it on June 5, 1995. What a fascinating game that is, I may do a video on that game in the future.

Welcome!

So glad!

Thank you

The extra plate appearance was due to an error made by the shortstop, but good catch on that!

@@BaseballAF Ah, ok thanks. I was trying to think what other possibilities there were and there it is. Shouldn't have doubted Nolan.

I did realize that after I had uploaded the video lol, I was waiting to be called out on it 😅

yes

You missed the Bellinger vid with this one, bud

@@BaseballAF Reposted.

That is a very good point as well

I could be wrong, but I believe he lost 6-7 no hitters with 2 outs in the 9th!

I agree with your sentiment, but in a way, it's more impressive that multiple pitchers can keep a team from hitting, as there are so many more variables with each new pitcher.

@@BaseballAF that’s a team effort. Realistically, are you overly impressed when a bullpen throws 2 or 3 hitless innings? Or when a starter goes 6 without giving up a hit? Because that’s what the combined no no is. While the other is a single pitcher dominating for at least 9. Don’t get me wrong, team no hitters are cool, just not as cool, or to me as impressive, as a solo effort. Though context can alter that. A guy who goes 9 with no hits but walks a ton and gets very few Ks isn’t as impressive as a team effort with 10+ Ks and few walks. In the case of Ryan’s 7th, I can’t imagine any team no no is on that level of dominance. Loved the vid btw, been a Nolan fan since I knew what baseball was even though he was never on my Yankees. He’s my favorite player ever.

@@snerdterguson I appreciate the comment! Glad you enjoyed it as well. I'll see if I can find a singularly impressive team no hitter and compare it to some other good no hitters

He did throw three, but one of them, he allowed a run in that game. So he had two "real" no-hitters. I should have maybe put that as a note, for no-hitter shutouts. Good catch though

I am very aware of that game, go figure they score a run in the 10th so he can try to do the impossible

Everyone has to start somewhere! I appreciate the sentiment

i watch your mike greenwell video like every 3 days

I'm working on it! Tell others about this! And thank you so much

Technically you're right, but I did specify from 1901. Corcoran threw all his no hitters before then.

Almost

@@BaseballAF have you seen Netflix doc?

@@RealTimePogo its on my watchlist rn, once I get some time off work

I sure hope so, he deserves one

Thank you for stating facts about Nolan Ryan.

If I'm not mistaken I think 5 (possibly 7) of those 12 one hitters were no hitters going in to the 9th.

@@standepain I am definitely going to look into this more when I get the chance

@@BaseballAF I did some digging last night and it looks like it was only 2 of those 12. 7-13-1979 against the Yankees (game is on here) and 4-23-1989 lol against the Blue Jays.

@@standepain It's a skill on it's own that can consistently get you deep into a game allowing 0 hits. I thank you for your digging haha

Yes, he has pitched 4. In 2021 he had a 15k, 2 hit, 0 BB complete game

@Baseball AF WOW 4!!!! I stand corrected lol

ok

Stats are the reason why you think those guys are the best lol

I will not stop the math, that's half the fun
