It’s a shame that immaculate innings are talked about so little that commentators often don’t even seem to think to keep track of it...but they’re actually three times rarer than a no-hitter. There have been 304 recorded no-hitters in MLB history, and exactly 100 immaculate innings.
No they’re not. There’s been 94 pitchers who have achieved an immaculate inning (while seven pitchers have achieved the feat more than once in their career). Perfect games have only been achieved by 23 pitchers (21 of those have accomplished the feat in the modern era). A rarer achievement than both, however, is a 20 strikeout game (only four pitchers ever have accomplished the feat, with Roger Clemens being the first - and second, achieving each a decade apart in his career - Kerry Wood, Randy Johnson, and Max Scherzer all being members of the 20K club).
At age 38 with a shot shoulder and throwing nothing but junk I was one out h away from an immaculate inning in the Swedish baseball league. That 9th pitch... Hit the batter square in the back. Lol
i don’t think a lot of these announcers don’t realize an immaculate inning just happened, something that has only been done 96 times in baseball history
Immaculate innings are as rarer than no-hitters. They should be celebrated more. A three pitch inning is also called "immaculate." I'd like to see a video of those.
I remember watching George Brett slide into the dugout trying to catch a foul popup in the 1985 World Series, but I had no idea until now that that was part of an immaculate inning by Danny Jackson. WILD! Another cool video would be pitchers retiring the side on 3 pitches. Aroldis Chapman did that once during his brief stint with the Cubs. EDIT: I see you've done this already. ua-cam.com/video/d8m22fNp6IQ/v-deo.html Cool! 8)
I always look these types of videos up knowing Brewers players have done it before and always watch the whole thing without seeing what I'm looking for
I'm sorry but if you notice almost every single 0-2 pitch was out of the strike zone I know you want to protect the plate but most 0-2 pitches you should not swing at because good pitching coaches will tell you to not put a hittable ball on a 0-2
Amazing they don't make a bigger deal about it. For those who don't know, one immaculate inning is around 10x more rare than a perfect game, with the odds of achieving one being just shy of 20,000:1.
Yes, it is! Back when he still did local Cardinals games in between Fox broadcasts in the early 2000s. (Matter of fact, he started his broadcasting career on Cardinals radio & T.V. :))
I was taught never throw an immaculate inning. 0-2 throw a fastball in the other batters box, high and in, change up in the dirt, curveball In the dirt. Never strike someone out on 3 pitches

“Iccumilate”
5:21 striking out ichiro is almost as impressive as the immaculate inning itself
It's funny how the announcers do not realize it while its happening
One guy called it near the end
Good call I tried making it a point to see how many caught on
I think some do but maybe don’t wanna really jinx it or get ahead of themselves

Except they always keep track of it and this is totally false
1:39 look at Scherzer say, "changeup" and then throw a changeup to strike him out.
Jake Ohanian well he is the closest to Nolan Ryan in the nl
How do the commentators never seem to notice this is happening? Immaculate innings are rarer than perfect games for God's sake!

The ones where bat doesn’t even touch ball are so satisfying. Just two guys playing catch.

WesleyAPEX oh okay my bad I’ve been watching for a while just totally forgot
I miss the old YES layout from the Yankees vs Marlins game
Can you do ichiros career highlights next please
12:56 and that's what we call a landslide cutting edge defeat

I can't believe that siding attempt isn't on more highlight reels.
What's even more impressive is 9 strikes with no foul balls.
Astros threw TWO immaculate innings. In the same game. To the same three batters.
What a showcase of talent! Can't wait until this season starts!!!!
Great video man, big ups from Texas.
Betances was straight up untouched. Truly immaculate. Hernandez too. Filth
You should do amazing postseason comebacks
I always look these types of videos up knowing Brewers players have done it before and always watch the whole thing without seeing what I'm looking for
Came here to comment this, but you did it for me
The bend at 11:47 is just insane
Love this channel

where is kenley jansens immaculate inning to finish off the marlins in 2017 ? good vid btw
I was waiting for that one too...
I dont think there is any pitcher more intimidating than Randy Johnson.....maybe Nolan
Bob Gibson

Ratio of no hitters to immaculate innings is about 3:1.
0:14 that ball sounded a lot like a gunshot.
If you do more Immaculate innings please do Jose Alvarado’s! This video physically hurt me as a Rays fan.
Dope!
9:40 I guess if you had to search for another first, how about an immaculate inning in which all three outs end with a throw to first.
Sandy Koufax has the most, hes the only person with 3
Also he got them within his 5 year 🐐 period
Add Haderade to the list!
iccumilate? lol can you do grund rull dubblz and gram srams preez
Yuh
3 pitch innings
That’d be funny if after the first strike of the inning the announcer goes “the pitcher is now 8 pitches away from an immaculate inning”
Is nobody going to mention the thick strikeout keeper?
Lol. You must be desperate.
"Iccumilate"
Now do 3 Pitch Innings !!
OkayFine I've never seen a 3 pitch inning. Have you?
ua-cam.com/video/d8m22fNp6IQ/v-deo.html
Idk why but Bradley cooper can play a movie about max scherzer
These announcers don’t seem too thrilled. Immaculate innings are harder than they look.
Only two of the announcers here actually referred to this event as an immaculate inning. When was the term first used?
11:05 Is that Joe Buck I'm hearing? He actually sounds like a baseball commentator!
Yes, it is! Back when he still did local Cardinals games in between Fox broadcasts in the early 2000s. (Matter of fact, he started his broadcasting career on Cardinals radio & T.V. :))
Update this with Will Harris!!
You should do fans getting pissed off
Is there enough 4-strikeout innings for a video?
Its happened 76 times in mlb history so a video should be possible. 5 strikeouts in one inning has happened at the minor league level.
Wheres bartolo calon 36 straight srikes
Calon? There is no Bartolo Calon in the MLB.
Garrett Richards???
Let's see 3 pitch innings
ua-cam.com/video/d8m22fNp6IQ/v-deo.html
Woah... that curve for Burnett’s first K. Filthy
How about on the next video. A compilation of the best plays at shortstop.
Do times pitchers lost when they threw no hitters
3:00 yankee stadium that empty???
Randys was the best imo cuz he got 300 too
Why Carlos Carrasco excluded?
Why am I getting excited calling a strike along with every pitch
well, it's better than immaculate conception
I wonder what it is called when you throw 9 strikes and they neevr even touch the ball?
I always thought an immaculate inning was a 3 pitch one.
Girls hitting home runs
Has there ever been a 6 pitch inning
no jv?
Next do ichiro career highlights...and then don't allow it to be seen in japan....ooo the irony
Could u do a MLB9Innings19 video
Ryon Healy getting pissed of please?
off*
kinda sad, immaculate innings are more rare than perfect games & almost no one notices to congratulate the pitcher
"Iccumilate innings" wtf
I could do that
6:31 Sounds like Principal Skinner.
I was pitching in a game and had 12 strikeouts in 5 innings, so I think I had like 3 immaculate innings in the same game lol
I was taught never throw an immaculate inning. 0-2 throw a fastball in the other batters box, high and in, change up in the dirt, curveball In the dirt. Never strike someone out on 3 pitches
Do MLB power hitters getting robbed
METS IN 5
Has there ever been a 3-pitch inning?
DizzyBurrito 1 yes😂
