[edit] Biographical Information

Bill James created a formula to calculate how likely a pitcher is to pitch a no-hitter. Based on that formula, Bobo Holloman was the second least likely pitcher in major league history to pitch his no-hitter. Lack of control was obviously Bobo's big nemesis as he went down in history as the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter and never see another Major League season. See Expected No-Hitters.

Holloman pitched in the minors from 1946 to 1954.
