Frank George "Noodles" Hahn (April 29, 1879 – February 6, 1960) was an American starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Cincinnati Reds and New York Highlanders between 1899 and 1906. The left-hander posted a 130–94 win–loss record with 917 strikeouts and a 2.55 earned run average in 2,029+1⁄3 innings pitched. He was the last pitcher to throw a no hitter in the 19th century and was the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter during the 1900s.
Hahn completed veterinary school while playing for Cincinnati, and he entered the profession after he retired from baseball. He worked out with the Reds on game days until he was almost 70 years old.
