The longest hitless streak to begin a single postseason is 25 consecutive plate appearances by Jose Altuve (Venezuela) while playing for the Houston Astros in 2022, breaking the previous mark set when Dal Maxvill of the St. Louis Cardinals went 0 for 22 versus the Detroit Tigers to begin the 1968 World Series.
At 0-for-25, Altuve’s skid was the second-longest hitless streak in a single postseason, trailing only Robinson Canó’s 0-for-29 stretch for the Yankees in 2012.
