Marlins’ Cal Quantrill throws the 116th Immaculate Inning in the history of the MLB

Nothing has a better name in baseball than the Immaculate Inning.

Nine pitches, nine strikes, and three outs in an inning. No balls left the strike zone. There are no foul balls to extend an at-bat. Just one pitcher outperforming each hitter with a trio of maximum efficiency strikeouts.

Cal Quantrill, a right-handed pitcher for the Miami Marlins, accomplished the feat against Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

It was the 116th Immaculate Inning in MLB history, with an average of less than one per season.

You can see the sequence there. The Rays only fouled off one pitch, took a few, and had a couple of swings and misses.

Quantrill is a second-generation major leaguer and the son of long-time pitcher Paul.

The younger Quantrill is in his seventh major league season, having previously pitched for Cleveland, San Diego, and Colorado.

Baseball is a wildly unlikely game. Even after Sunday’s outing, Quantrill’s ERA is 7.00.

However, on Sunday, in this single inning, Quantrill was the best pitcher on the planet. He was immaculate.
