Brandon Pfaadt had the worst pitching out of his life on Saturday for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
We'll call it the yes-hitter, and it's a stat MLB should start tracking immediately.
The term "yes-hitter" is far from official, but it's something that baseball fans on social media started tossing around at the conclusion of Pfaadt's outing. If you haven't caught on yet, it's a play on "no-hitter."
Here were Pfaadt's stats during his yes-hitter:
- 0.0 innings pitched
- 6 hits allowed
- 8 runs allowed
- 2 hit by pitch
- 8 batters faced, all of whom scored
It's not the first yes-hitter in MLB history.
Carlos Rodon had a near-identical stat line last season for the Yankees.

It's a bummer for Pfaadt, a solid pitcher who was 7-3 on the season before his nightmare outing raised his ERA all the way up to 5.05.
The 26-year old threw 18 of his 31 pitches for strikes. Often, the biggest cause of a brutal outing is lack of control, but Pfaadt wasn't totally out of sync.
He just got rocked. It happens.
Hopefully, Pfaadt bounces back in his next start. He'll certainly want to forget Saturday ever happened in a hurry.
But MLB, please don't forget the term yes-hitter. That one needs to stick in the lexicon.
