Cristian Javier, a professional baseball pitcher from the Dominican Republic, plays for the Houston Astros in Major League Baseball (MLB). He joined the Astros as an international free agent in 2015 and later debuted in the MLB in 2020. Notably, during the Astros' World Series triumph in 2022, Javier created history by starting two combined no-hitters, including Game 4 of the World Series. This remarkable achievement made him the first player in MLB history to achieve this feat. The no-hitter in the World Series was only the second in baseball history and the sole combined no-hitter.
