The most unbreakable records in MLB history: 7 No-hitters

Registering a no-hitter is extremely difficult for a pitcher. Not only are they depending on their defense to make sure that no “hit” balls land on the ground, but more than anything, they need to be practically perfect when they’re out there.

Nolan Ryan and his seven career no-hitters aren’t necessarily considered gaudy when juxtaposed to the other records on this list, but when you consider that his closest competition, Sandy Koufax, only has four, then maybe you’ll realize that it’s going to take someone with an incredible arm to dethrone him.

On average, no-hitters only occur approximately three times per season, making the chances of someone registering at least one per year incredibly unlikely. The consistency in which Ryan was able to rack up his no-hitters is also note-worthy. At the age of 26, Ryan picked up his first no-hitter. He didn’t waste time picking up another as he did so two months later. At 44, Ryan grabbed the final no-hitter of his career, proving that it didn’t matter if he was smack dab in the middle of his prime or in need of a walking cane to make his way to the mound. He was always a threat to put together a no-hitter.
