With his save last night against the Mets, Trevor Hoffman became the all-time leader in one pitch saves with 5. He had been tied with Dennis Eckersley with 4. 6 others have 3 one pitch saves. http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... areit/8uBh.

Additionally, it was his second one pitch, two out save. That ties him with Jeff Montgomery and Eckersley for most all time, with 2. http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... areit/mRfk (this link has all 19 such games).

Records for pitches only go back to 1988, and the pitch counts were not recorded past the 9th inning until 2000 (no one knows why), so there are surely other such games. These are the only ones we know about.

I was up at 4 in the morning feeding the baby and watching SportsCenter. They said that Hoffman came in and got a double play on one pitch, so it got me thinking about it.

Another oddball stat from our oddball guru, David.

Your fascination with baseball-referece.com is amazing.

And the fact you find so many stats that no one else would know about is amazing.

I don't know exactly what you are asking, so here you go:

Those are the 5 saves for Trevor Hoffman where he only threw one pitch. The first one, from 2001 is pretty neat. In that game, he threw one pitch, gave up a run scoring double, but the game ended when Jim Edmonds was thrown out at home.
