Not just Major League but any baseball feat that is pretty amazing.

In 1938, Johnny Vander Meer threw back to back no-hitters. (MLB)

In 1952, Ron Necciai struck out 27 batters in a 9 inning game. (Minor league)

In the 1934 All-Star game, Carl Hubbel struck out five future HOFers in a row: Ruth, Gehrig, and Foxx in one inning. Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in the next.

What you got?

Fernando Tatis hitting 2 grand slams in one inning.

I highly highly doubt anyone ever hits 3 grand slams in one inning

To answer your question Harvey Haddix's 12 inning perfect game


But almost all of them outside of advanced efficiency based stats or luck stats should be retired. We've reached peak understanding of baseball science, and we watched the evolution of it over the last 150 years.

It will probably never be broken but the DiMaggio 56-game streak has a better chance of being broken than most of the other 'unbreakable' season/career records simply because it would only require a summer of insane luck.

5 Home Runs in a game will probably happen first though

N Ryan's no hit record

Cal R. Consecutive games played, nobody cares about that anymore.

I’m not sure if we’ll see any other players get in the 700 HR club.

Ty Cobb's .366 career batting average will never be seriously threatened.

Ricky Henderson’s single season and career stolen base records.

Base stealing is about a third of what it was when I was watching MLB in the 80s and 90s. I miss that version of ball.

Kid on my little league team named Willie struck out every at bat for an entire season. Record feels safe.

With hitters approaches nowadays and the way hitting is taught in general, we will never see a player hit .400 in a season again

Most of the good ones have been covered in this thread but

Joe Dimaggio’s 56 game hit streak. Broken on game 57 followed by a 15 game hitting streak recording a hit in 71 out of 72 games.

Ichiro’s Single Season Hits Record, 262 hits in 2004.

Rickey Henderson’s Single Season SB Record, 130 Steals in 1982.

Hack Wilson’s Single Season RBI Record, 191 RBI’s in 1930.

Chief Wilson’s 36 Triples in a Single Season in 1912.

Barry Bonds Single Season Walks Record, 232 in 2004.

Pete Rose’s 15,890 Plate Appearances.

I also doubt you ever see another player hit .400 in a single season ever again.

Jim Abbott no hitter with one hand. No way someone with zero hands throws one.

Some are obvious.
No one is touching anything CY Young did, most pitching records will stay forever.

I honestly don't think anyone will top 191 RBI by Havk Wilson or the. 471 single season average by Vargas.

Unlikely any pitcher will ever strike out five batters in an inning. Last time four batters were struck out in an inning was Tyler Glasnow of the Tampa Bay Rays on July 7, 2023.

There have been only a few instances of a pitcher having an "immaculate inning" by striking out three batters on nine pitches in an inning. Extremely unlikely a pitcher will ever strike out four batters in an inning on 12 pitches.
