And this, as well, is very true....but it certainly doesn't mean a guy who strikes out 18 guys in a game is gonna throw a no hitter. There's still 9 more outs, not to mention that the more guys you strike out in a game, the more pitches you throw and the more tired and errant you become. So I would actually argue that the more guys per game you strikeout, the HARDER it is to throw a no hitter. At least, I'd argue that before I'd argue the other side of the argument.
