List of Major League Baseball no-hitters

The first no-hitter officially recognized by MLB was pitched by George Bradley on July 15, 1876, during the first season of play in the National League.

The most recent major league no-hitter was thrown by Chicago Cubs pitchers Shota Imanaga, Nate Pearson, and Porter Hodge against the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 4, 2024.

While the vast majority of no-hitters are shutouts, no-hit teams have managed to score runs in their respective games 25 times.

Besides Vander Meer, Allie Reynolds (in 1951), Virgil Trucks (in 1952), Nolan Ryan (in 1973), and Max Scherzer (in 2015) are the only other major leaguers to throw two no-hitters in the same regular season.

Jim Maloney technically threw two no-hitters in the 1965 season, but his first one ended after he allowed a home run in the top of the 11th inning.
