― mookieproof, Saturday, 26 August 2023 00:58 (seven months ago) link
Steve Busby had two in the same year, I think, but surely must have been done since.

Scherzer’s two in 2015 was the first (and only) time it happened this century
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:00 (seven months ago) link
I was wrong. Busby is the only pitcher to throw no-hitters in his first two seasons; here are two in the same season (article goes back to 2021).
https://www.mlb.com/news/pitchers-with-two-no-hitters-in-the-same-season
― clemenza, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:01 (seven months ago) link
I was wrong too! Roy Halladay had two in 2010 as well
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:02 (seven months ago) link
How can we forget Johnny Vander Meer’s 1938 seasons where he had two back to back no hitters (very impressive)
― H.P, Saturday, 26 August 2023 01:04 (seven months ago) link
I figured Steve Busby would be excellent Immaculate Grid Fodder. No--eight seasons, all with K.C. (And, if you could check the pitch count on those two no-hitters, quite possibly a good example of why that's not a good idea.)
Busby subsequently became the first baseball player to undergo rotator cuff surgery. In an effort to help his arm recover from the surgery, his doctor recommended that Busby be placed on a pitch count. He is often believed to be the first baseball player to be placed on a pitch count, something that Busby has stated is a myth. Before his injury, he is alleged to have thrown close to 200 pitches in a game, which Busby also says is untrue.

xp ty! some research suggests that's good spin but not the toppity top. asked cuz his spin seemed noticeably faster on slo mo than other pitchers i've seen, but maybe that's an effect of how fast/slow the slo-mo is.
fingers crossed he doesn't end up in the pulled pork thread. he was clocking 100.
