What is the fewest pitches thrown in a complete game?
Charles Henry "Red" Barrett (February 14, 1915 – July 28, 1990) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played 11 total career seasons in the National League. He played for the Cincinnati Reds, Boston Braves and St. Louis Cardinals. He pitched the shortest complete game by fewest pitches (58) in history.
Necciai is best remembered for the unique feat of striking out 27 batters in a nine-inning game, which he accomplished while playing with the Class-D Appalachian League team, the Bristol Twins, on May 13, 1952.
The Astros' Luis Garcia and Phil Maton both fanned three hitters on nine pitches to help Houston become the only team in MLB history to toss a pair of immaculate innings in the same game.
The most pitches thrown in a game by a pitcher is 255, which was accomplished by Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox in a game against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 7, 2009. Buehrle pitched all nine innings and also had 21 strikeouts in the game.
There have been 161 one-pitch wins.
Definition. A screwball is a breaking ball designed to move in the opposite direction of just about every other breaking pitch. It is one of the rarest pitches thrown in baseball, mostly because of the tax it can put on a pitcher's arm.
The rarest type of triple play, and one of the rarest events of any kind in baseball, is for a single fielder to complete all three outs. There have only been 15 unassisted triple plays in MLB history, making this feat rarer than a perfect game.
It's a pretty rare feat. But ... have you ever seen a two-pitch inning? As in, a pitcher only needs two pitches to record a clean inning of work? If you watched the Rome Braves' win over the West Virginia Power on Friday night, you did.
Last updated on January 13th, 2023. A perfect game in baseball happens when a pitcher gets every opposing batter out without anyone reaching base the entire game. Over a 9-inning game, each team gets three outs per inning for a total of 27 outs.
So, while swallowing some weird black pills, chugging milk in between innings and dealing with intense abdominal pain, Necciai pitched that May night like he was from another planet. The Welch Miners mustered a walk, a HBP and reached on a dropped-third strike and error, but went down on strikes a record 27 times.
Has there ever been a 9 pitch game?
The ultimate version of that situation occurred on May 8, 2014, when Brad Boxberger of the Tampa Bay Rays came into a game with none out and the bases loaded and proceeded to get out of the jam by throwing nine consecutive strikes, striking out the side.
Overall, there have been eight instances of a three-pitch, three-out inning since the start of 2015 according to Elias. In that same span, there have been 22 immaculate innings.
