The others are Bumpus Jones’ no hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on October 15, 1892, Glenn Abbott’s no hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on October 15, 1892, Rollie Fingers’ combined no-hitter against the Oakland Athletics on September 28, 1975, Henderson Alvarez’s no hitter against the Detroit Tigers on September 29, 2013, and Jordan Zimmermann against the Miami Marlin, 2014, which was Jordan Zimmermann’s hitter against the Miami Marlin, on September 28th, 2014, against the Marlins. Witt was also the first pitcher since Sandy Koufax, September 9, 1965 to throw a perfect game with a score of 1-0. (See Sandy Koufax’s perfect Game).
From 1984 to 1987 Witt was the Angels’ most successful player in win, strikeouts and innings pitched. He also led the team in complete games. He was the Angels’ Most Valuable Player in 1986. Witt had 18 wins and a 2.84 earned- run average. The American League Cy Young Award winner was Teddy Higuera.
Witt, who was only twenty-years old, made his major league debut in 1981 with the California Angels. Witt was 6’7″ tall, and had a great curveball and fastball. His breakout season was 1984 when he went 15-11 with the Angels. He struck out 16 Seattle Mariners in a complete-game five-hitter on July 23, but his highlight of the season came on September 30, when Witt pitched the 11th perfect game against the Texas Rangers at Arlington Stadium. The gem was completed by him striking out 10, with just 94 pitches.

Mike Witt is one of the richest Baseball Player from United States. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, Mike Witt 's net worth $5 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)
Michael Atwater Witt, born July 20, 1960, is an ex-American professional baseball pitcher. Between 1981 and 1993, he played 12 seasons in Major League Baseball and in 1984, he threw the 11th perfect baseball game in MLB history.
Witt was a former player of Major League Baseball at Servite High school and a All-County basketball athlete. Witt was selected in the fourth round by Major League Baseball in 1978.
In the middle of the 1987 season, however, Witt suddenly lost his overpowering stuff and saw his strikeout numbers decline significantly. He did manage to combine with starter Mark Langston to pitch a no-hitter on April 11, 1990 against Seattle, pitching the last two innings; but he was traded to the New York Yankees on May 11, 1990 for Dave Winfield, never winning more than five games during his three years there before retiring in 1993. He is the only pitcher ever to pitch a complete game no-hitter, or in his case a perfect game, and appear in relief for a combined no-hitter as well (four others have pitched complete game no-hitters and also started a combined no-hitter).
