A PERFECT 10, I presume?

Yes, he is a good one. Plays on FTB's top team and is a 2014, actually. Even more impressive.

Congrats to Kyle great job!!

Congradulations. My son also just pitched a perfect game to win the district. Struckout the first 14 batters and 17 of 18. Only 6 innings as it was a run rule game.

Dad04,

We have Kyle ranked very high, but we have him as a 2014 grad. Either way it's quite an accomplishment.

This makes me curious how many of us have experienced a perfect game at the HS level. LHP threw a perfect game as a senior with 16 strikeouts, and I was thankful to be there to watch it.

Joe McCarthy of Bishop Guertin HS in Nashua NH tossed a perfect game on Tuesday Night. Joe struck out 6 in a 1-0 win against Manchester Memorial. Joe is committed to pitch next year for Southern NH University.

Wow, fun stuff for all those boys, both the pitchers as individuals, but also of course the defensive talent behind them. The stars have to align just right for that! (although #32 son sounds like he did it all by himself. Good stuff.)



How common are PGs and No Hitters in HS, are there any stats on that? I know my 2013's recent "no no" was one walk shy of a PG, but that one walk makes all the difference!!

I would imagine the number of PGs and NHitters also depends on the conference you play in, and talent disparity between teams of course, so maybe tracking that stat on a national level is not very useful data.

We see lots of No Hitters written up for HS softball, but seems like only a few for HS baseball in our state papers.

Nativefan, btw, one of my son's senior teammates is headed to SNHU as well, and will be playing ball there. I'll tell his mom about the PG of his future teammate

My bad. He is a 2014. He should be really good in a couple of years.

While against freshman, my son (a 2015) pitched one last Saturday in their last game of the year vs. Burleson, TX.

5 innings
12 strikouts
59 pitches

My son has never thrown one, and I've never witnessed one in person (at any level).

Having said that, I love hearing about them, and I can't imagine how thrilling it must be to count down the outs to a perfect game.

Congrats!

We just had a HS Perfecto thrown up here in Washington too:

My son's teammate at Delta State, Colton Mitchell, threw a seven inning perfecto a few weeks ago and was named National collegiate Pitcher of the Week.

This doesn't count for much, but my son threw a perfect game when he was 13. Just about the only game that I missed until he went off to college. At least his dad saw it though. Congrats to those of you whose sons have accomplished such a milestone!

Last week, 4/18/2012 watched Jr.Chris Castellanos of Long Beach Poly throw a perfect game against Long Beach Wison and defeat Chase DeJong

Congrats to all the pitchers recognized!
