What does wwba mean in perfect game? ›

Wood bat only (WWBA stands for World Wood Bat Association)

Over the 154 years of Major League Baseball history, and over 238,500 games played, there have been 24 official perfect games by the current definition. No pitcher has thrown more than one.

To achieve a perfect game, a team must not allow any opposing player to reach base by any means: no hits, walks, hit batsmen, uncaught third strikes, catcher's interference, fielder's obstruction, or fielding errors which allow a batter to reach base.

The WWBA World Championship is the top scouting attraction of amateur baseball each year with over 700+ MLB scouts and college coaches in attendance. With thousands of top youth baseball talent in attendance, this tournament is a premier event hosted in The Palm Beaches.

With 17 pools of five teams each – 85 teams in all – the WWBA Championships are a who's who of top prospects, MLB scouts, and top college programs. "Typically MLB clubs will send 15 or more scouts, with some sending their entire scouting department,” said Perfect Game President Jerry Ford.

Necciai was as shocked as anybody that he pulled it off, always thinking he was too wild to ever have success on the mound.

How rare is the immaculate inning? There have been 115 immaculate innings in MLB history and just seven pitchers have thrown one multiple times. Basically, it's occurred more than the perfect game but far fewer times than a no-hitter, so it's a relatively rare feat, all things considered.

When was the last MLB perfect game? The last MLB perfect game was June 28, 2023, by Domingo Germán (New York Yankees) against the Oakland Athletics.
