Whiffle Perfection?

In honor of Roy Halladay’s second no hitter of the season, I decided to check the Whiffle stats to see if anyone had recorded 27 consecutive outs (over multiple appearances, of course) this season.

I’ll end the suspense; the answer is no.  But of course we pitch in a “league” that bats 0.361 overall and has 3 batters over the 0.400 mark.  Such a feat would be Herculean in this game.

Here are the best out streaks for each pitcher:

Pitcher
Consecutive Outs
Mosser
18
Simpson

Eldridge

Berwald
12
Cebulash

Zamonski

Lindsay

Baker

Anderson

Bush

Hume

Mackintosh

Diodoardo

One note: Brian Simpson’s 18-out streak is a current streak, covering all 18 batters he has faced this season.
