Yes. A no hitter, by definition, is a pitched game where no opposing player reaches base by means of a base hit. A walk will break up a perfect game. A perfect game is a pitched game where no opposing player reaches base by any means. A walk or hit by pitch or error ends a perfect game but does not end a no hitter.

Is it still a perfect game if you walk a batter in baseball?

No. It can still be a no hitter. But a perfect game requires the pitcher to retire every batter he or she faces. A perfect game is broken whenever any batter reaches base, including by hit, walk, or error.


Was there ever a baseball game that had a no hitter with walks?

Yes. A no hitter is just that, no hits. There have even been cases where a team has scored in a no hitter. One year the White Sox were called "The Hitless Wonders." A player got on first with a walk, on second with a stolen base, and came home on an error. Situations like that happened a number of times during the season.

What are you when you walk three times in baseball?

You are on base three times. You also either have a prettty good batting eye, the pitchers don't have much control, or, you are such a good hitter that the pitcher(s) don't want to pitch to you.


Has a baseball player ever secured a no hitter with a walk-off homer run eg bottom of the ninth tied 0-0 batter hits home run?

No. This is impossible. For his team to win the game in the bottom of the ninth, he would have to have already pitched 9 complete innings. At the point he retired the 27th batter in the top of the 9th, he ALREADY HAD a no-hitter. Whatever happened after that would not affect his no-hitter. If his team had not scored in the bottom of the ninth, and he gave up a hit in the 10th, he STILL pitched a no-hitter. So the home run didn't "secure" anything. The no-hitter was secured the moment he retired the 27th batter in the top of the 9th.
