A Pitcher's time limit in pitching to a batter doesn't depend solely on the batter but also on when he (the Pitcher in question) has the Baseball in his possession however when he does have the ball in his possession and is on the mound then he has 12 seconds to deliver it to the plate however an exception to this rule is when runners are on base.

Yes, because if there isn't a time limit the roller could just not roll when their winning the game........The time limit is 10 seconds once the batter has stepped in the box and is ready to take the pitch.

There is no official time limit in Major League Baseball. In rare circumstances the umpires may either postpone the rest of the game due to bad weather, or if the game has been played for 5 full innings the team with the highest score wins.

Can an uninjured pitcher be substituted in the middle of a count?

Yes. However, rules state a pitcher must pitch one complete at bat before being taken out of the game (unless the pitcher gets injured and cannot continue). So, as long as the batter being pitched to is not the first batter the pitcher is facing, the pitcher may be removed in the middle of the count.


What must a baseball pitcher do in order to throw the baseball pitch called the slider?

The slider is a difficult pitch to master. It also requires a developed arm strength. With that in mind, a pitcher must first be willing to practice the pitch many times before its thrown in a real game. Also, because it is hard on the arm, first master the curve ball and the fastball. When all three things are done, a pitcher is ready to use the slider in a real game.


Can a relief pitcher in major league baseball come in and throw just one pitch or does he have to pitch completely to one batter?

A pitcher who enters the game must pitch at least one full at bat. The only exception to this is if the pitcher suffers an injury during warmups or while pitching to the first batter that the umpires deem serious enough to warrant medical attention. Then the pitcher may be replaced before pitching one full at bat.


How many pitches does a pitcher need to be eligible for a win in 9 inning game?

Pitch count has nothing to do with eligibility to be the winning pitcher. In a scheduled 9-inning game, the starting pitcher must pitch 5 complete innings to be eligible to be the winning pitcher. Relief pitchers must be the pitcher of record when the winning team takes the lead, and never relinquishes the lead, to be the winning pitcher.
