What is the maximum number of innings?

Answer 1

First, the English is poor in the question. It should be "What is the maximum number of players that can bat in one Baseball inning."

The Answer is easy: Theoretically, every player on both teams can bat in each team's respective half of the inning. So, the maximum number that can bat is limited only by the number of players on the roster, which varies by the time of year. After the 9 starting players have batted, they can all be pinch-hitted for by 9 other players, and so on until every player on the roster has batted. This presumes, of course, that they don't reach 3 outs before every player has batted.

Answer 2

In MLB, there is no maximum number of innings; the game is played until there is a winner. However, some youth and co-rec leagues may establish a maximum number of innings, this could result in a tie game.

Answer 3

Depends on some definitions.

• The defense can position 7 of its players where they want in fair territory, so they can all be in the infield
• If you count the pitcher's mound and the catcher's position as part of the infield, that's all 9 defensive players
• If you count the offensive team as well:
• • There can be up to 3 runners on base
  • If you count the hitter, that's a 4th offensive players
  • If the 1st and 3rd base coaches are player-coaches, and you count the coaching boxes as part of the infield, that's another 2

So the most expansive definitions gets you to 15. 16 in a softball league that allows 10 defensive players.
