Fielding-Independent Perfect Games

By Tangotiger, 02:17 PM

Nice idea (though it doesn’t seem he included hit batters).

To be more strict, I’d not only make it no HR, no BB, no HBP, but also so that you have a FIP of 0.00.  Since we have to add a constant of 3.2, that would simply mean if this term ends up at -3.2 or lower: 2*K/IP. So, if you throw 6 innings, that means 10 K. If you throw 7 innings, that means 11K.  8 innings means 13 K, and 9 innings means 15 K.

Under those conditions, how many Fielding-Independent Perfect Games have there been?
