20 Arkansas.Ī 6-2, 221-pound native of Cleveland, Ga., Sosebee is 7-8 with a 3.42 ERA and 1 save in his Bulldog career. This past season, his signature wins included beating No. In 54.1 innings, he had 21 walks and 55 strikeouts. There had been 12 Yankees no-hitters and over 300 in MLB history to this point.ATHENS-Georgia pitcher David Sosebee has been selected by the New York Yankees in the 28th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft.Īs a redshirt junior in 2015, Sosebee posted a 4-3 record and 2.98 ERA in 11 appearances including eight starts. The last Yankees no-hitter happened and that was Corey Kluber. The last individual no-hitter came on the arm of Angels lefty Reid Detmers on May 10 of last season. There were four last year, including the Astros using four pitchers to throw a combined no-no in Game 4 of the World Series.

No-hitters are much more common than perfect games, obviously, but there still hadn't been one this season before Germán's outing Wednesday. It was the third perfect game in Oakland Coliseum, joining A's pitchers Catfish Hunter and Dallas Braden. This was the first perfect game by a Dominican-born pitcher and third from a pitcher born outside the United States, joining Hernández and Dennis Martinez. The two teams were previously tied for the most perfect games with three. With Germán's perfect game here, the Yankees moved ahead of the White Sox for the MLB lead.

David Wells (1998) and Don Larsen (the 1956 World Series) have also thrown perfect games with the Yankees. The most recent Yankees perfect game came on Jwhen David Cone did it. It was actually the third one that season, as Matt Cain and Philip Humber also accomplished the feat. Through we've seen our share of no-hitters since then, the most recent perfect game came in 2012, when Félix Hernández of the Mariners accomplished the feat on Aug. It had been a while since the last perfect game in Major League Baseball. He gave up 10 runs alone last time out, making him the pitcher who allowed the most runs in the outing immediately before his perfect game in history. He coughed up 17 runs, 15 earned, on 15 hits in 5 1/3 innings in his previous two starts. Germán didn't exactly enter the game on a hot streak. This was actually the first complete game of Germán's career, too.

He was also efficient, needing only 99 pitches to finish the game. He got 12 swings-and-misses with it out of 51 total curves. He recorded 20 of his 27 outs with that pitch. That was really about it in terms of having to sweat the perfect game possibly being broken up. Then Germán induced a routine grounder to escape. Jonah Bride was ahead 3-1 in the count, and after Germán dropped in a curve for a called strike to run the count full, Bride fouled one off. He only ran a three-ball count twice on the night and the biggest scare on that front came with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. Still, this was mostly all just dominance on the mound by Germán.
