The New York Mets‘ phenomenal right-handed pitcher, Nolan McLean, put together a great night in the Bay Area on Friday.
Pitching against the San Francisco Giants, McLean earned the win on the mound as the Mets rolled, 10-3. But that wasn’t all.
In the process, McLean put up a stat line never seen exactly like this before in MLB history.
Shared by the account Pitchergami on X, McLean had a unique combination of these five statistics:
5.1 innings1 hit allowed1 earned run allowed2 walks allowed4 strikeouts

Nolan McLean just threw a line that has NEVER happened in MLB history:

That’s the 27th Pitchergami of 2026 and 1 of 83,251+ unique lines on record.

The reason this had a chance to be unique is that for most of baseball history, if a pitcher had allowed just a single hit through 5.1 innings, that pitcher wouldn’t be getting pulled out of the game.
But McLean had reached 93 pitches, and this early in the season, that meant his day was done.

The Mets’ bats did plenty of work to make sure McLean got his first W of the season. Francisco Alvarez homered twice, and Marcus Semien left the yard, as well.
McLean did allow one unearned run in addition to the one earned run. His season ERA in the early going is 2.61.
And now he has this unique little slice of baseball history.
