No-Hitter designation

[FD1W]

Thoughts of needing to designate whether a no-hitter was by an individual or committee?

 

I hate the idea of having to say "Combined No-Hitter" and "Individual No-Hitter" or something similar

Well, if it is over one player contributing/pitching then say the TEAM achieved a no-hitter.

If it is a complete game call it an INDIVIDUAL no hitter.

There have been many, many no-hitters ruined because a 2nd pitcher allows a hit or a fielder commits an unforced error.

So if we start giving individuals credit for partial no-hitters then we have a lot of people who deserve more credit.

Hell of a guy comes in and relieves someone and allows no more hits, he also pitched a no-hitter...?

No hitter - one pitcher.   No exceptions.   Do I look like I'm kidding!!!!

It’s baseball, thus everything that can be a stat will be recorded as such to bring up later.

Baseball stats are ludicrously positive.  Johnny Bravo may be battling the Mendoza line on the year, but when it is his turn at bat, the scoreboard says "Batting .412 against LHP on Tuesday 1PM games when the count is 2 and 0 and no runners on base."

Only 19 of 300+ no-hitters were combined efforts in MLB history, but the trend has changed.  https://www.espn.com/mlb/history/nohitters
