Batters in MLB are allowed to bat from either side of the plate. They are also allowed to switch sides during an at bat as long as they do so before the pitcher has taken his stance on the pitching rubber.
No, there is no way possible, but it is possible to be a losing and winning pitcher in one DAY!!!
"Runs allowed" is the total number of runs that are allowed by a team or pitcher. "Earned runs allowed" are runs for which a pitcher is held accountable. This is covered under Major League Baseball rule 10.16, which is quite lengthy.
This is the pitcher
In the National Baseball League - the pitcher is not only allowed to bat - he is required to. In the American Baseball League, the pticher does not bat. He was replaced in that capacity many years ago by the "designated hitter".
In the 1926 World Series, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Pete Alexander won game 2 by retiring the last 21 Yankee batters.
If the pitcher drops the ball while contacting the rubber or in her motion it is called an illegal pitch. The batters' count will be given a ball and if a runner is on base they are allowed to advance to the next base.
IP means innings pitched WP means either wild pitch or winning pitcher TBF i think means total batters faced
Arguably the best MLB pitcher of all time was Nolan Ryan. While he had thousands of walks, he also had a relatively low ERA and struck out over 5,000 batters.
The highest number of batters that could bat during an inning where no runs are scored is 6. That would make for a maximum of 54 batters in a nine inning shutout.
Usually AB is an offensive stat which stands for At Bat, meaning who is batting at the current moment. BF usually stands for Batters Faced, used as a pitching stat next to how many batters that pitcher struck out (Batters faced is not used in computing a pitcher's ERA, or Earned Run Average.
