thats what you need to keep the pitch count down

Absolutely... as the game goes on the pressure players in that situation feel must be comparable to that of players facing elimination from contention or from the playoffs.

[@user-qh4vo3xg3b]

Glad he was able to do it in front of his dad. Imagine the first time he gave him a ball and glove.

[@anakinskywalker7289]

it's what makes it beautiful. I can almost bet you his dad was there every step and was there watching him playing in middle school, little league, high school, college, minor and then finally the show. And his debut is a no hitter which is historical. Amazing and I'd be proud if I were his dad.

[@-MichaelMunoz-]

Interestingly, he is not overpowering batters by velocity. He pitches by location. He can have a long career.

[@kyledaugherty1609]

He's not overpowering batters in any sense. How many of those outs were stung line drives with EVs likely over 100 MPH? It's a fun story, and who doesn't love a fun story? But I wouldn't go looking for a long-term MLB career from a 27-year-old rookie. Still...you never know, right? :)

[@timothywilliams1359]

Cardinals fan here. Congrats to Tyler Gilbert and the D-Backs fans. An amazing, historical performance! Only one other pitcher since the late 1800s has pitched a no-hitter in his first start, and that was in 1953, I believe.

[@marcuskajer5615]

68 years!

[@kellyjay7448]

Actually, I read that Gilbert is the 4th pitcher to do so. Gonna research that now. Edit: Yes, four pitchers accomplished this, two in the 1890's. Bumpus Jones of the Reds threw one in 1892 and was the only one of the four to do so in his very first appearance, the other three had appeared as relievers previously. Also, Jones' no-hitter was on Oct. 15, the latest in the year one was ever thrown. Ted Brittenstein of the St. Louis Browns thew one on the last day of the 1897 season, Oct. 4. This was the old Browns of the American Association, which folded after the season. The Browns, however, resurfaced in the National League as the Cardinals. The other pitcher from the modern era to accomplish this was Bobo Holloman in 1953 for the OTHER St. Louis Browns of the American League. That was his only year in the Major Leagues. His no-hitter was similar to Gilbert's in that his stuff wasn't over-powering. Browns owner Bill Veeck descibed it as such: "the quaintest no-hitter in the history of the game," saying that Holloman’s pitches were "belted" all night, but he was saved by luck and outstanding defense.

[@casey-capri2914]

As a Dbacks fan we really needed something to get excited about this season. With that being said, that’s maybe the luckiest no hitter I’ve ever seen. 75% of those outs were squared up right to guys. Love it

[@billthemitchell]

Right?! This could have just as easily been a early pull after giving up six runs in four innings. Baseball is weird like that.

[@Chris-jt4pl]

I wouldn’t say luckiest no hitter ever cause there’s been so many no hitters and perfect games saved by dozens of diving catches and a few by home runs being robbed. but yes overall very lucky that the defense was in the perfect position on basically every single line drive

[@lseagle61]

@@Chris-jt4pl agreed, luck is just one part of the equation in any no hitter

[@ctay7216]

Fate was on this mans side. One of those where too much feels like a coincidence. The gods of baseball said we got this one

@@jennamiller6522 Nah, it's a simple fact. And I have no investment in either of these teams. Padres kept making contact. Defense was on their A game for sure, but no way can you say that a good amount of luck wasn't required in order to not allow a single hit. It's often the case. The fact that no-hitters are so rare in baseball is evidence enough that luck has to be involved. You need A LOT of things to happen right.
