Two. One for each team.
588 pitchers have appeared in at least one game in 2009. 420 are right handed, and 168 are left handed. This means that 71% of pitchers are right handed and 29% are left-handed, which comes to a righty-to-lefty ratio of about 2.5:1.
Walter Johnson was one of baseball's greatest pitchers. He won a total of 416 games.
Juan Nieves. Nieves no hit the Baltimore Orioles, winning 7-0, on April 15, 1987.
None. Pitchers are not consumable.
There have been countless. The most recent was Mike Mussina in 2008. Roger Clemens was the only pitcher ever win 20 out of twenty-one decisions. Jack Chesbero holds the record for wins in a season with 41. These are just a few examples.
The Detroit Tigers have never had four 20-game winners in a single season.
It helps resolve the issue of "Who was the better pitcher?" Win-loss records for pitchers are just one stat (but an important one) in resolving this issue. In 1972, Steve Carlton was 27-10 on a team that lost 97 games. He was great, his team sucked.
From 1962 to July 14, 2011, the New York Mets have played more than 7,800 games without one of their pitchers throwing a no hitter.
Yes, there is no restriction on changing pitchers during an at bat, unless the current pitcher just entered the game and the batter is the first batter he faces. The pitcher must face at least one batter before he can be replaced, unless the pitcher is injured, or ejected from the game.
to legally play only one person can be on the pitchers mound while the game is in play
Whitey Ford was one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Among pitchers with at least 300 career decisions, Ford ranks first with a winning percentage of .690, the all-time highest percentage in modern baseball history. Ford's 2.75 earned run average is the lowest among starting pitchers whose careers began after the advent of the Live Ball era in 1920.
