What is the least number of pitches a pitcher can throw in a baseball game?
Zero. If a pitcher delays the pitch or if the pitcher does an illegal move the umpire is to award the batter a ball. Done 4 consecutive times the batter is awarded 1st base. If then the Pitcher picks the runner off, the first out is recorded with no pitch being thrown. Also if a batter delays the umpire is to issue the batter a strike done three consecutive times the batter would be called out. So it is possible to record an out with no pitch being thrown. Repeat for each out of each inning. Likely the answer that is being looked for is one pitch for each out of th game 27.

Why does the catcher signal the pitches in a baseball game?
Both the catcher and the pitcher have to know what pitch is going to be thrown. This is is usually only done in the MLB because of the variety and ferocity of pitches. When the catcher knows what pitch is going to be thrown it gives him a better chance of catching the pitch and less chance of making a costly error. If the pitcher were to signal the catcher what pitch is going to be thrown, the batter could easily see the signal and eventually decipher the signal. This is why you see the catcher giving the signal quickly and out of sight of the batter.

Can a manager substitute a pitcher after he has thrown a pitch to a batter?
Yes, if the batter was retired with that 1 pitch or got on base or was hit by the pitch. In other words if that batter is no longer up or if this was not the 1st batter the pitcher has faced and the pitcher threw a strike or a ball then the manager could take him out or if the pitcher suffered an injury with that one pitch. If the pitcher comes into a game and throws only one pitch and the batter is still up and there is no injury to the pitcher, then the pitcher must pitch to the batter till he is retired or reaches base on a hit, walk, error, fielders choice, etc.

What is h 11 in baseball?
um.. it depends. "h" can mean two different things. it can mean that a batter has 11 hits, which means that a player hit the ball and reached base with out being tagged out, thrown out, or reaching on a fielders choice. if the "h" is reffering to a pitcher, it means the pitcher has 11 holds, which is where the game is close, a relief pitcher can come in and "hold" the game by not giving up a run so that the closer can pitch and "save the game. I hope this answers you question.
