in 1963. The first Asian pitcher to throw one was Los Angeles Dodger Hideo Nomo in 1996. The most recent MLB season completed without a no-hitter was 2005. Regulation no-hitters Key No-hitters No-hitters by team Current teams Source: Italics: Multiple pitchers used for combined no-hitter Bold: Perfect Game Defunct teams Near no-hitters Regulation games in which a pitcher or staff pitches less than nine full innings, or in which a hit is allowed in extra innings, are not recognized by MLB as no-hitters. However, before the rules were tightened in 1991, such games were recognized as official no-hitters. Regulation no-hit losses ending in the middle of the ninth Since the bottom of the ninth inning is not played if the team batting last already has a lead, the pitcher(s) of the team batting first can complete a full game without allowing a hit, but not be credited with an official no-hitter. The winning team may not need to bat in the bottom of the ninth due to runs scored by walks, errors, or anything else not involving hits, in which case the losing team's pitcher(s) will not be credited with an official no-hitter, because they pitched less than nine innings. This has happened only five times in major-league history. Such games were recognized as no-hitters before 1991; however, MLB no longer recognizes such games, past or present, as no-hitters. While in modern baseball the home team always bats last, the visiting team sometimes batted last in the early days of professional baseball.
