Phil Cockrell, Nip Winters, Satchel Paige (pictured; left to right) and Porter Moss are the only Negro league pitchers known to have thrown multiple no-hitters, with two each.

Due to lack of record-keeping for Negro league baseball games, the exact number of no-hitters thrown is unknown. However, ongoing research by baseball historians has revealed that at least 34 no-hitters were thrown in the Negro leagues. Researchers have had to clarify differences between play from teams and barnstorming, and one of the no-hitters was thrown at a benefit All-Star Game. There are also at least six games that were called before nine innings were completed, due to weather or darkness.

In 2020, Major League Baseball (MLB) announced the addition of seven "Negro Major Leagues" that played from 1920 to 1948 as major leagues, which recognized statistics from over 3,400 players that played in those seasons.[1] Under MLB rules, at least 25 no-hitters from between 1920 and 1948 could be recognized and eventually be incorporated into official no-hitter records.[2]

Of the 25 no-hitters, four pitchers threw two: Phil Cockrell, Nip Winters, Satchel Paige, and Porter Moss. Four no-hitters were combined efforts. Leon Day threw a no-hitter on May 5, 1946, to open the season for the Newark Eagles against the Philadelphia Stars, which would be considered the second no-hitter thrown by on Opening Day after Bob Feller did so on April 16, 1940, against the Chicago White Sox. Claude Grier threw a no-hitter in Game 3 of the 1926 Colored World Series against the Chicago American Giants; it was the first no-hitter thrown in a major league postseason game, 30 years before Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series.[3]
