List of KBO League no-hitters

Last updated

In baseball, throwing a no-hitter is a pitching accomplishment in which one or more pitchers does not yield a hit in the course of one game. A no-hitter is rare in the South Korean KBO League, occurring 17 times since Bang Soo-Won's first no hitter in 1984. Among them, no-hitter has been recorded as a shutout 14 times, and combined no-hitter has been recorded three times.

Unlike in Major League Baseball (MLB), combined no-hitters are not considered as official no-hitters by KBO. And in the KBO League, no-hitter recorded in the postseason is treated separately as an unofficial record.
