ONLY SANDY KOUFAX HAS DONE IT MORE THAN ONCE!
NOT A VERY COMPLETE ANSWER FROM WIKI SOURCE!!
Click on the "9 pitches, 9 strikes" link below to see those pitchers. According to Baseball Almanac (the source of the link), three pitchers have done the deed more than once ... Koufax, Lefty Grove, and Nolan Ryan.
Not through the 2011 MLB season ... the most is 3 and has been done by many pitchers. Through 2011, only 16 pitchers have won 4+ games in a playoff season. Randy Johnson of the 2001 Diamondbacks and Francisco Rodriguez of the 2002 Anaheim Angels won 5. Fourteen other pitchers have won 4, the last being Chris Carpenter of the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals.

Relief PitchersRelief pitchers are trained to go in in tight spots and get a certain job done (not that always happens) so it's not that they cant go longer but when their job is done, usually they are pulled to keep their arm healthy and strong so they can come back the next day or as soon as possible. and... their might be some pitchers that just loose the liveliness in their arms more quickly than others, even though they can sling the hell out of the ball..it mostly depends on the pitcher's arm and how they have trained their arm. How can a pitcher get ready out of the bullpen with 10-15 warm-up pitches when it takes a starter around 60 pitches to get ready?It's largely because of the way starters and relievers are trained and conditioned. Starters are trained to go deep into ballgames, and because they only pitch every fifth day, they can do this. Typically, a reliever will need to be ready to pitch everyday, or most every day. He can't go too far into a game because his team might need him again the very next day. Additionally, relief pitchers tend to be specialists who throw only one or two pitches. By the time a pitcher faces hitters for the second time, the hitters start figuring him out and he starts losing effectiveness, so the manager usually tries to get him out of there before that happens.Wow I am seeing some pretty bad answers.. By the way, speed has nothing to do with stress put on the arm. I am 13 years old, throwing about 70 MPH. However, it is as hard as I can throw, and puts as much stress on my arm as Randy Johnson throwing 102.Some pitchers just have more delicate arms than others and cannot last as long.By the way, starters don't get more rest than relievers. They pitch every day before games, if you have ever been to a game. They only get 2 days rest.However, in warming up before a game, the pitches they make aren't quite as hard as in a live game. This is because they don't wish to wear themselves out unnecessarily if either they're not scheduled to pitch or they want to keep that arm fresh for live action. Thus, the typical rest period still stands.
15 players have had a 4-homer game in the Majors; no one has ever done it twice.
just the celtics when they one eight in a row
your bad at spelling
4trivial knowledge:This could be done with actually no pitches thrown if the pitcher comments illegal pitches -- but yes.. generally 4 pitches for balls equals a freebie
Possibly. You need an actual appraisal done on these items to determine their value.
Well, we now know it was done at least once, by Brandon Morrow, of the Seattle Mariners, vs. San Diego, on 6-24-09. JJD As a Mariners fan, I obviously knew that, how many other pitchers have done so ? RJP
A repetative Task as in being done twice.
There are certain things a pitcher may not do while within this circle. Fore example, when the umpire puts a new ball in play, some pitchers will spit on their hands and rub the ball up. Done outside this circle, it is legal; done inside this circle, it is illegal.
OKLAHOMA SOONERS HAVE DONE IT TWICE. 1955-1956, 1974-1975. NEBRASKA HAS DONE IT TWICE TOO. 1970-1971 and 1994-1995.
I have done it twice. Remember to declare it
Won it on another continent. They've done it twice: Europe in 1958; Asia in 2002.
At least twice a year
Yes, a toe nail can grow back if it falls off twice, but it depends on the damage done to the nail bed. It make take longer to grow back after falling off twice.
