Quick Summary

In baseball, a no-hitter is a game in which a pitcher prevents the opposing team from getting any hits. This is a more common occurrence than a perfect game, where a pitcher faces the minimum number of batters (27 in a nine-inning game) without allowing any to reach base. A no-hitter, while impressive, still allows for opponents to reach base via errors or walks. The term "no-hitter" has been used in baseball since at least 1911. Pitchers like Phil Niekro have achieved no-hitters during their careers.1234
