Throwing a no-hitter is hard enough for a crafty veteran. But doing it as a rookie? Well, that puts you into some of the most elite company in the game's history.

Only 25 big leaguers have accomplished the feat, and it's a wonder that the number is that large. It's tough enough to be pitching at big league parks for the first time against hitters you may have only ever seen before on TV.

The Angels' Reid Detmers, at just 22 years old, became the most recent member of the exclusive club in 2022 when he no-hit the Rays, a team he had never faced before, in his 11th career start. His was a unique feat in its own right -- he struck out just two batters, making him just the second pitcher in the last 42 seasons (joining Francisco Liriano in 2011) to total two or fewer K's in a no-hitter.
