Rick Guttormson

Rick Lee Guttormson (リック・ガトームソン, 릭 구톰슨) (born January 11, 1977) is an American former professional baseball starting pitcher.

He became the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the history of interleague play in Japanese baseball, doing so against the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles on May 25. He was the last foreign pitcher to throw a no hitter in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) until 2022, when Cody Ponce of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters did so against the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks on the 27th of August.

On July 13, 2007, he tested positive for finasteride, which was banned by NPB due to its use as a masking agent, and suspended for 20 days.
