Nolan Ryan threw seven no-hitters, Sandy Koufax four, Bob Feller and Cy Young three apiece. All of them were extreme power pitchers, especially the first three. On the other hand, Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux have good, but not exceptional, fastballs. They don't blow anybody away, and it's no surprise that neither man has thrown a no-hitter yet. It is a surprise, though, that Roger Clemens hasn't thrown one.
Most pitchers throw their no-hitters at home .
Many, but by no means all, no-hitters are thrown against bad teams . Casey Stengel's Mets, perhaps the worst team of the 20 th century, suffered two devastating no-hitters. Two years later, Jim Bunning blew the Mets away with a perfect game, the first one thrown in the National League in 84 years. Not all no-hit victims are bad teams. All three of these teams went on to win the World Series.
