There have solely been 118 immaculate innings — placing out the aspect on 9 pitches — in Main League Baseball historical past, making it one of many rarest accomplishments within the sport. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto thought he threw the 119th on Thursday night time towards the San Diego Padres within the high of the third inning.
After placing out Bryce Johnson and Martin Maldonado on six pitches, he acquired forward of Fernando Tatis Jr. 0-2 and threw what gave the impression to be an ideal pitch proper down the center.
Everyone thought it was strike three. Everyone apart from the one individual that mattered probably the most — house plate umpire Marvin Hudson.
