With the California Angels, Nolan Ryan found his grove thanks to pitching Coach Jimmy Reese, who helped harness the wild, untamed heater. With the Angels, Ryan threw four no-hitters in three years and set the single-season record for strikeouts with 383 in 1973. After eight years in Anaheim, Nolan Ryan came home to the Lone State, signing a record-breaking deal with the Houston Astros before the 1980 season. Ryan added a fifth no-hitter in Houston and became the first pitcher with 4,000 strikeouts in 1985.
