Easy, if in multiple innings. They could get nine straight out. If you mean in one inning, i do not believe its possible. Even with bases loaded when the last out is made, it would still only be a total of six batters. Hope i helped

Who has the most perfect games in baseball history?

No baserunnerIf a pitcher faces the minimum number of batters for all the innings played (which means it could go to extra innings) without allowing a baserunner, he has pitched a perfect game: no hits, no walks, no batters hit-by-pitch, no batters reach on an error. Also, the pitcher cannot be substituted.


What are the odds of a runner on second scoring with no outs in the ninth?

I have seen answers that range from 75% to 85%, but you can't go by those kinds of odds. Odds in baseball are completely different than, say, poker or craps. With poker, you always have 52 cards in a deck and the number never changes. With craps, the dice faces never change. In baseball, your odds are determined by the abilities of at least six (Pitcher, Catcher, Batter 1, Batter 2, Batter 3, Base Runner on second) and up to thirteen (the remaining fielders) or more (Batter 4 if one of the other batters is walked) players. Just some factors: Is the pitcher on his "A" game? And even if so, is he an ace or mediocre? The batting averages of the upcoming batters. Are any of those batters hot or cold? If NL, Will the pitcher be batting? What are the fielding percentages of the players behind the pitcher? Will the pitcher intentionally walk the next batter to try and create a force-out situation?

What direction does the batter face when in the batters box?

The batter faces towards home plate, with their feet just further than shoulder width apart. If the batter is right handed, they will stand to the left of the plate, looking over their left shoulder at the pitcher. If the batter is left handed, they will stand to the right of the plate, looking of their right shoulder at the pitcher.

How many innings does a pitcher have to pitch to get a save in the MLB?

A single out is enough to get a save. To get a save a pitcher has to record the game ending out, and has to have entered with a lead of 3 runs or fewer, or with the tying run at the plate or on deck. If a pitcher throws the game's final 3 innings he can get the save regardless of how big a lead his team had when he entered.

If you change pitchers at the beginning of an inning and before the umpire calls the batter to the plate can you talk to your new pitcher without being charged a visit to the mound?

I apologize, but my answers keep getting deleted, or changed .If you send out your old pitcher (I will clarify so it doesn't get deleted again) -- the pitcher that was previously in -- you can go out to the mound at that time before he faces a pitcher and make the change.. by doing this you would essentially get a free visit to the mound as the visit would go towards the old pitcher, not the new --- a pitcher that has pitched in previous innings, does not have to pitch to anyone just because he came in to start the inning.

Why is the pitcher considered the most important defense player on the team?

Because where and how the pitcher throws the ball has a lot to do with where and how hard the batter hits it. If the pitcher is throwing the ball on the corners of the plate, moving the ball up and down in the strike zone, and changing speeds generally the batter will not hit as hard as the pitcher who throws the ball, no matter how hard, over the middle of the plate. The defense will usually set its positions based on how a pitcher is going to pitch to a batter. If the defense plays a batter to the opposite field and the pitcher throws a pitch on the outside corner at the knees, the batter is usually going to hit that ball to the opposite field, maybe sometimes up the middle. If the defense is playing the batter to the opposite field and the pitcher throws the ball belt high over the inside half of the plate, chances are the batter will hit the ball very hard and pull the ball away from where the defense is setup.
