Perfectly pitched?

NOHIT

Think of a baseball achievement where the pitcher doesn’t allow a single hit—it’s not just good, it’s flawless. The answer is a shortened term for this rare feat.

This clue plays on two meanings of "pitched." In baseball, a "perfectly pitched" game could mean a pitcher allowed no hits—hence "no-hit." The question mark signals wordplay, hinting that "perfectly pitched" isn’t about sound but about a flawless performance on the mound. "NOHIT" is also a term for a game where no batter reaches base safely.
