What do these pitchers have in common?

[leatherman]

These 13 players are the only pitchers to do this in a game for the last 30 seasons (1981-2010). What was it?

Dennis Eckersley
Jim Gott
Roy Halladay
Teddy Higuera
Bruce Hurst
Mike Lacoss
Terry Leach (who else remembers how bloody this guy's knee was every time he pitched?)
Greg Maddux
Jack Morris
Mark Mulder
Dan Schatzeder
Dave Stewart
John Tudor

hmmmmm,

Didn't get to a 3 ball count on a single hitter faced?

Struck out 4 hitters in an inning?

 

[CAROLINA BOSOX]

Strike out 4 in an inning?

 

[jumbojohnny]

four Ks was my guess also.

Nope. Felix Hernandez and Manny Parra both struck out 4 batters in an inning this season.

Not 4ks in an inning, otherwise Chuck Finley would be on there (3 times), and Felix Hernandez (the most recent).

(in best Cliff Claven voice) "Who are 13 people who have never been in my kitchen......alex, you can't PROVE that they ever have been. Im right!"

I am guessing no ground outs in a game.

No.

And I'm pretty sure Teddy Higuera was in your kitchen at some point.

 

[jswaykos]

Stephen Strasburg.

Dang, I was going to guess 2 hrs in a game. Gott and Lacoss did it.

I took a guess after i saw on wiki that Schatzeder pitched a 10-inning shutout.

What do i win ? A 2010 Bowman Jumbo case ?

Gott did it, but Lacoss never hit two in one game. He hit 2 in his career, in back to back starts in 1986: http://www.baseball-reference.com/playe ... g_gamelogs

Morris is also the only person to do it in postseason play any time recently (ever?). Game 7 of the 1991 WS v. Braves.

Dave McNally threw an 11 inning shutout in the first ALCS in 1969. He is the last since Morris.

The only other players to throw an extra inning shutout in the postseason were in World Series games:
Clem Labine in 1956 for the Brooklyn Dodgers against the Yankees.
Christy Mathewson in 1913 for the New York Giants against the Philadelphia Athletics.

Damn, I was gonna guess that haha. I figured that because I heard about Leach's 10 inning 1 hit shutout for the Mets. I figured what else would he have accomplished.

Cool fact. Thanks for the read!

shouldn't pedro martinez be on the list?
