It’s May 21 and there have been six* (seven in my opinion) no-hitters thrown already this year. The latest, by Corey Kluber on Wednesday, was the second against the Texas Rangers this year and was the second in as many nights.
Are no-hitters still special? Absolutely.
Is the frequency with which teams are getting shut down a problem? Hell yeah.
But there are still teams putting up big offensive numbers this year. Pitchers are dominating but runs are still getting scored. And some teams are doing a better job than others at surviving the injury problems that are plaguing baseball early this year.
