In baseball,a no-hitter or no-hit game is a game in which a team does not record a hit through conventional methods. Major League Baseball (MLB) officially defines a no-hitter as a completed game in which a team that batted in at least nine complete innings recorded no hits. A pitcher who prevents the opposing team from achieving a hit is thereby said to have "thrown a no-hitter". In most cases,no-hitters are recorded by a single pitcher who throws a complete game;one thrown by two or more pitchers is a combined no-hitter.
