R.A. Dickey Throws Back-to-Back One-Hitters; Pitchers with the Most One-Hitters.
R.A. Dickey Throws Two One-Hitters in a Row
The New York Mets‘ knuckleballer, R.A. Dickey, has pitched two one-hitters in a row, tonight blanking the Cincinnati Reds 5-0 for the second. He becomes the first pitcher since the Toronto Blue Jays‘ Dave Steib in 1988 to hurl back-to-back one-hitters.
That makes three one-hitters for Dickey. He’s not on today’s list, but Dave Steib is.
It’s the most one-hitters in baseball history. Not surprisingly, Nolan Ryan tops the list with a ridiculous 13 one-hitters (add that to his seven no-hitters).
Here are all MLB‘s pitchers with at least five one-hitters…
