2018 CPBL
The 2018 CPBL season was the year of the no-hitter. The league had not had a regular-season no-hitter in ten years but this year had three: Nick Additon and Elih Villanueva of the sub-.500 Chinatrust Brothers became the first teammates to throw no-hitters in the same campaign while Ryan Verdugo of the Uni-President Lions fired the CPBL's first perfect game late in the year. It wasn't a pitchers' year, though, as batters hit a composite .294.
