What’s the Rarest Stat in the MLB?

An unassisted triple play is the rarest stat in Major League Baseball. 

It has only been accomplished 15 times in big-league history, making it rarer than a perfect game or hitting four home runs in a game. 

Eric Bruntlett of the Philadelphia Phillies was the last player to record an unassisted triple play. He did so in 2009, when the Phils were among the favourites in World Series odds. 

What’s a Vander Meer in Baseball?

A “Vander Meer” refers to Johnny Vander Meer throwing no-hitters in consecutive starts. Vander Meer achieved this on June 11 and June 15 of the 1938 regular season for the Cincinnati Reds.

No other pitcher in MLB history has thrown a no-hitter in consecutive appearances. 

What MLB Record Will Never Be Broken?

Vander Meer throwing back-to-back no-hitters is the most unbreakable of MLB records.

What’s Rarer Than a Perfect Game?

Hitting four home runs in a game is rarer than a perfect game. 

Unassisted triple plays are also rarer than perfect games. 

There have been a total of 23 perfect games in MLB history, while a player has hit four home runs in a game 20 times, and there have been 15 unassisted triple plays.

What’s the Rarest Out in Baseball?

An unassisted triple play is the rarest out in baseball. 

This occurs when a player records all three outs without giving the ball up, meaning no one is credited with an assist on the play.

Most unassisted triple plays are completed by a middle infielder catching a line drive near second base. They record the first out with the catch, then stand on second base before the runner can tag up, and tag the runner from first base to complete the triple play.
