You can’t predict baseball, but you can predict no-hitters—or at least, you can reasonably assume that, at least once a season, a starting pitcher will be jumping for joy with his teammates on a mound after nine innings with zeros on the board. MLB has seen at least one no-hitter every single season since 2005, and only three years in the last 30—’05, 2000, and 1989—have gone by without the feat being achieved. No-hitters belong to the game’s resident demigods like Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer, and to names long forgotten like Bud Smith and Chris Heston. Some are dominant and some are tightrope acts, but they can and usually do happen on any given night.
