I did not realize until just now that it is a no-hitter and not a perfecto. MLB had it incorrectly listed as a PG until about 5 minutes ago.

1. I love pitching.
2. This is getting ridiculous.

Nice! A strike-three wild pitch was the only thing preventing a perfect game.

Did they not rule it a passed ball?

Got it.

Faces the minimum. Best stat though, first pitch strikes to 26 of the 27 hitters he faced

Sucks to be a Mariners fan. He’s been dominant all year, grats to him.

That's awesome. Wish more pitchers would take notes on this.

Very nice! So, the question is, do you sell now or wait until he gets traded to the Yankees in a few months?

I actually think his stuff has a lot more potential, it just is going to get there quicker then I thought it would.

It's very rare in the modern era, for a player to not have any bowman stuff and just a few real RC logo's. Outside of On demand/Topps Now stuff

Update- Which is an ASG Card. Probably his best rookie
Heritage
Bowmans Best
Update Mini (Online exlusive)

So I plan on fishing a bit. I was into the base at an average of a $1/card shipped.

Only 2,477 copies of his Topps Living Set rookie card.

Means might have been the most underrated starting pitcher in baseball. Most have brushed off his All-Star appearance and being a rotation ace due to being an Oriole. Does that change now?
