Bid Graveyard

First hits come faster here than almost anywhere in baseball — bids die young.

Nationals Park has seen three no-hitters. The most recent was thrown by Dylan Cease for the Padres against the Nationals on July 25, 2024. Measured by how long the first hit takes to land, the park is one of the five parks where a no-hit bid dies soonest, No. 27 of 30: the first hit lands in inning 1.71 on average, earlier than the league's 1.77.

The home ballpark edge

home vs visiting pitchers

How the first hit falls for home pitchers versus visiting teams at this park. (In neutral-site games, MLB’s designated home team counts as the home side.)

League-wide, home teams hold off the first hit until inning 1.81 on average, and visitors only until 1.73. A single park’s split says as much about its home club’s pitching as about the park itself, and the sample is small.
