40 years ago Saturday, Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches in a game.

Report Abuse. Imagine how many more strikeouts Nolan Ryan would have had if he had better control in his Angel years. He routinely threw near and over 200 pitches a game because of all the walks. You are looking at 20+ strikeout games many times and 400+ strikeout seasons and maybe a few 30 win seasons.

Ryan is the all-time leader in no-hitters with seven, three more than any other pitcher. He is tied with Bob Feller for the most one-hitters, with 12. Ryan also pitched 18 two-hitters. Despite the seven no-hitters, he never threw a perfect game, nor did he ever win a Cy Young Award. Ryan is one of only 29 players in baseball history to have appeared in Major League baseball games in four decades and the only pitcher to have struck out seven pairs of fathers and sons.

What follows is a list of the most bizarre baseball records of all time, those flubs (and gems) that stupefy and spur the imagination. Most games pitched with no wins: Tie: Juan Alvarez, 1999-2003, and Ed Olwine, 1986-1988 (80) There have been plenty of poor pitchers to grace the rubber over the years.
