What is the perfect game in baseball?

The perfect baseball game is a game in which none of the batches on one of the teams get to the base. It is one of the most precious performances that can be achieved in baseball. Not only does the pitcher or jugs of one team have to allow any hits or walks or to hit the dough with the playground that the Fielders team must not tie any mistakes and at the same time turn each ball hit in a fair territory. Usually, this performance is discussed in terms of jug performance; This means that the pitcher is attributed to throwing the perfect game, although other players have to play perfectly.

In some baseball leagues, games must withstand a certain number of shifts to qualify as a perfect game. For example, in the Major League baseball, the Premier Professional League in the world, perfect games must last for at least nine shifts, the standard length of the game. Games called nine shifts, such as those that are shortened by Rain, do not qualify. Those who last more than nine shifts can be perfect games, onlyIf it ends without any dough on one team reaching the base. The league of youth or other leagues that play shorter games, such as five shifts or seven shifts, may not have a minimum shift requirement.

No-Hitters

by definition, the perfect game is also a non-Hitter-HRA, in which one team does not get an intervention. However, no Hitters are always perfect games, because with without maintaining the dough they can still get to the base in other ways such as walking or mistakes. It is also possible for the team to throw a non-hitter and lose the game, which can not happen in the perfect game-the score can run unless none of its dough gets or even gets to the base.

Common components

If you want to throw a perfect game, the pitcher must have good control of your playground. Defense of the pitcher must also play very well. In addition to Fielders playing flawless baseball has many perfect games one nEbo more defensive games in which Fielder turns almost an outward hit with diving, long throwing or similarly impressive game. Many people consider happiness that they also play a role, because poorly affected balls often land or fit where Fielders cannot reach them in time to record out, and such an intervention would prevent the perfect game.

History of the main league

Each of these perfect games was thrown by a single pitcher than to let another jug ​​replace the starter during the game for a reason.
