He can't. He can only be knocked out on strike three, tag-outs (which accurs when a fielder with the Baseball tags the batter), or fly-outs (which a fielder catches the baseball before it touches the ground). However, if a fielder catches the baseball before it touches the ground, but it touched the ground before it was hit by the bat, then it's still fly-out.

What pitcher made the fewest pitches in one inning?

There are many pitchers who have made the fewest pitches in one inning. Three. Each batter swung at the first pitch and it resulted in an out. It still happens today, although it's usually four to six.


What was the most strikeouts in one inning by a batter?

That makes no sense. If a batter strikes out then there done for the inning. Even If they batted around, which is unlikey you could still answer that. Either 1 to 3 times an inning errr huh? Anyway to re the question 2 seems to be the record by numerous players. However there is a report of one batter making all 3 outs in one inning (not just strikeouts) http://article.feeds4all.nl/Ottawa-Batter-Makes-3-Outs/1718995531.aspx

If it's 2 outs and a runner is throw out while trying to steal and the batter is still alive will the batter get a new count the next time his team is up?

Yes. The position in the lineup that was batting at the time of the third out will be the first batter in the next inning and the count will reset to 0-0.


There is a man on second base a ball is hit to the third baseman and he tags out the runner advancing to third base with no force in play does the batter get credited with a hit?

Providing that there is less than 2 outs in the inning, the batter would still be credited with a base hit.


Is it possible to strike six people out in one inning?

Yes, it is. When a pitcher strikes someone out, the ball will occasionally pop out of the catcher's glove while the batter is swinging. When that happens, the batter can run for first. The pitcher, however, is still credited with the strikeout.Therefore, a pitcher could strike 6 people out if 3 people reached base when the catcher dropped the ball 3 times and if the pitcher struck out 3 batters regularly.


The number of strikeouts in an inning of baseball?

There can be an infinite number of strikeouts in one inning. Usually and most of the time there are three but there are times it can be 4 or more. If the catcher drops a third strike and the batter reaches first base safely, that is still recorded as a strikeout for the pitcher.


What happens if a batter hits a ball that hits first base before the batter gets there?

Should a batted ball hit any base, the ball is considered fair and live and the play continues. It is still up to the defense to field the ball and touch first base before the batter does to record an out.


Runner on second is hit by the batted ball while running to third. How is this recorded?

dead ball, the runner is out and the putout goes to the closest fielder...the batter gets credit for a hit and if there are other runners that are forced to advance by the batter getting first (in this case, a runner on first), he gets to advance also...if there are 2 outs, the batter still gets credit for a hit but the inning is over

If a runner attempting to steal a base makes the third out to end the inning does the same batter get to bat again in the next inning?

The batter is only out on a dropped third strike when there are less than two outs and first base was occupied at the start of the pitch. With two outs the batter may take first base on a dropped third strike even if it was occupied at the start of the pitch.
