How many innings does a starting pitcher have to pitch to get a win in the MLB?

There is no way to tell the exact average, but there is usually 1 starter for each team, a relief pitcher, and the closer. So about 6 total. -----The number of pitches would depend on many factors, but usually there is a minimum of at least 200 pitches in a game. High scoring games or those with a lot of walks could approach or even pass 300 pitches.

What is the shortest amount of pitches that can be thrown to win a major league baseball game?

For a pitcher, 0. A pitcher can come in to relieve another, get the final out of an inning on a pickoff, and his team takes the lead in the next inning, while he is the pitcher of record. For a team, 15. Each out takes at least one pitch. A pitcher would have to get 15 outs, and the game would have to be called after five innings for weather or another such distraction.

There is no definitive answer since pitches per at bat has not been a consistently kept statistic, however according to the original Baseball Abstract by Bill James, Roy Thomas fouled off 22 pitches & eventually worked the count to 3 balls. This would mean he saw at least 26 pitches (22 strikes + 3 balls + 1 ball in play)
