No, Because a pitcher has to throw at least five innings of work.
It is not possible.
Yes. Even though the pitcher did not throw a pitch he was the pitcher of record when the winning runs scored. So he would get credit for the win. Let's say this happened in the 6th inning: A pitcher comes in with the bases loaded, two out, and his team is trailing 6-4. He picks the runner off of first base before he throws a pitch. In the bottom of the 6th the pitcher is pinch hit for and his team scores 4 runs to put his team ahead 8-6. The game ends with a score of 8-7. The pitcher would be credited with the win in this case because, as before, he was the pitcher of record when the go-ahead runs scored. I cannot recall this ever happening but, by rule, a pitcher can be credited with a win without throwing a single pitch.
Pretty much. you can eat the entire apple if you spit out the seeds. but if you have braces or if your mouth is very tender and can be ripped easily, then no.
No, a team cannot be credited with a loss without another team being credited with a win, and a team cannot be credited with a win without another team being credited with a loss. In the case of a tie, each of the two teams is credited with one half of a win and one half of a loss.

B.J. Ryan accomplished this on May 1, 2003. Here is the link to the game summary: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET200305011.shtml Greg Garrett, a relief pitcher for the California Angels, also won a game without throwing a pitch against the Milwaukee Brewers on July 1, 1970.

you cant. :D
A save is when a relief pitcher comes in with his team leading and finishes the game without giving up the lead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not all such appearances are saves. To be credited with a save, the pitcher's team must win, he must be the pitcher at the end of the game, and he must not be credited with the win. (Essentially the above answer.) But then he must qualify in one of three additional ways: (1) he pitched effectively for at least three innings; (2) he came into the game with his team leading by no more than 3 runs, and pitched at least one full inning; or (3) he entered the game with the tying run on base, at bat, or on deck.
A balk cannot be called if no one is on base. The essence of a balk is the pitcher is tiring to achieve an unfair advantage over the base runner. No runner, no advantage. If a pitcher, while no runners are on base, commits an action that would have been recognized as a balk if runners had been on base, the penalty for this is a ball. So yes, in theory, you could "walk someone without every throwing a pitch" --- (i.e), if you were on the mound and dropped the ball, that would be a "balk" and result in a ball.. The thing is, it does count on pitch count
The current world record for throwing a paper ball into a bin without missing is held by Dylan Morrison, who made 66 consecutive shots in 2016.
