Who Has The Most Perfect Games In Baseball?

A lot of people ask who has the most perfect games in baseball. The answer may surprise you!

Introduction

A perfect game in baseball is when a pitcher throws to 27 batters, and no one gets on base. That means no hits, no walks, no errors, and no one reaching on a fielder’s choice. It’s the rarest feat in baseball, and it’s only been accomplished 23 times in the history of Major League Baseball.

Who has the most perfect games in baseball? That would be Hall of Famer Young Cy Young, who threw three perfect games during his 22-year career. The first came on May 5, 1904, when he was pitching for the Boston Americans (now the Red Sox) against the Philadelphia Athletics. He followed that up with another perfect game on June 30, 1908, this time pitching for the Cleveland Naps (now the Indians) against the New York Giants. His third and final perfect game came on April 29, 1911, when he was back with the Red Sox and pitched against the Tigers in Detroit.

There have been 11 pitchers who have thrown two perfect games each. They are: Addie Joss (1908, 1910), Sandy Koufax (1963, 1965), Jim Bunning (1964, 1964), Warren Spahn ( 1961 1961), Catfish Hunter (1968 1968), Mike Witt (1984 1984), Kenny Rogers (1994 1994), David Cone(1999 1999 1999), David Wells( 1998 1998 1998 ), Mark Buehrle( 2009 2009 2012). All of them are in the Hall of Fame except for Rogers , Witt ,and Buehrle .

Hitting

Pirates first baseman Bill Mazeroski is the only player in Major League Baseball history to hit a walk-off home run to win a World Series.

Fielding

Fielding is a critical part of baseball, and the players who can field the best tend to be the most successful. In order to be a great fielder, you need to have good range, good hands, and good instincts. Some players are born with these natural abilities, while others have to work hard to develop them.

The best fielders in baseball are typically the ones who have played the game the longest and have had the most practice. However, there are always a few young players who come up each year and surprise everyone with their fielding abilities.

There have been dozens of perfect games in baseball history, but only a handful of players have been able to achieve this feat more than once. The player with the most perfect games is Roy Halladay, who pitched two perfect games in 2010. Other pitchers with multiple perfect games include Sandy Koufax, Randy Johnson, and Catfish Hunter.

Conclusion

Of the 115 pitchers who have thrown a perfect game, only 22 have more than one. The first player to achieve this feat was Cy Young, who did it twice. Nolan Ryan has the most perfect games of any pitcher, with seven.
