The most unbreakable records in MLB history: 110 shutouts by Walter Johnson

There are a few things that a pitcher can look back on and smile about. Number one on their list is most likely a perfect game. Much like the name indicates, it gets no better than that. After that would be to have a no-hitter. Putting together a game where either of those occurs would be about as good as it gets.

But, to have a game in which a shutout takes place, a pitcher would gladly take it. Leaving the opposing team on donut is a symbol of dominance and embarrassment for the opposite side.

There was no one in the history of the game who was better at pitching a shutout than Walter Johnson. Currently, he has the all-time lead with 110. The next highest on said list is Pete Alexander with 90.

In 11 seasons, Johnson managed to pitch shutouts six different times and he’s the only pitcher in history to hit triple digits. If you’re waiting and hoping that someone will eventually surpass Johnson’s record, get comfortable. Even Clayton Kershaw, a future Hall of Famer and considered one of the best ever, isn’t registered in the top 400.

As for the number he has at the moment, well, he only has 15.
