    Hitter obviously. The pitcher has to throw a strike...

    Without knowing what the situation is, I give the hitter the slight advantage for reasons stated by Nate.

    If a baserunner's on third with less than 2 outs, I greatly favor the hitter because a wild pitch (or passed ball, depending on how the pitch is scored) not only walks the batter but also allows the runner to score. Bases-loaded situations are even worse for the pitcher because the ball doesn't even have to be a wild pitch in order to force the runner home.

    If there are 2 outs and at least third base is open, I give the pitcher the slight edge because the worst that can happen from a ball is the batter reaches base with no guarantee of scoring.

    All other situations go back to my initial statement.

    Yes, for both. If he throws a perfect game it has to be a No Hitter. But personally I would rather be known to throw a Perfect Game than a no hitter. Both are so hard to do. 27 outs nobody gets on base for a perfect game. Nobody gets a hit in a no hitter. And a no hitter only goes for nine innings. So one guys once lost a no-hitter cause in the bottom of the tenth the other team had a walk off and won, but he threw a no hitter which is amazing to do that and end up being the losing pitcher.

    The hitter has a slight advantage.

    If the pitcher throws a pitch that the hitter doesn't like, he can foul it off and try to get another pitch to hit.

    The pitcher has no such temporary escape.

    Not only that, but by the time the count is at 3-2, the hitter has seen at least 5 pitches from the pitcher already. There's a good chance he has the pitcher's timing down by then, and that increases his odds of being able to hit the next pitch.

    Hitter's count. There's a lot of pressure on the pitcher to throw a strike but not hang a pitch and have it hit out of the ballpark.

    Hitter deffinitally. He knows the pitcher has to come in with a strike, and the batter knows that.
