What happens when the bases are empty and there is only 1 out and the outfielder after catching a pop fly he thinks is the third out throws the ball into the stands by mistake?

The home plate umpire will give the pitcher a new ball. When balls go foul, they just get thrown into the stands, and the umpire will usually bring out a new ball anyway. No big deal.

If a baseball pitcher were equally talented pitching left or right handed can he switch in the middle of an at bat?

pitchers may not switch throwing hands in the middle of an at bat. they may switch from hitter to hitter however There is nothing I have found in the MLB rules that states a pitcher cannot switch throwing hands when facing a single batter. Maybe someone can point out the specific rule that states what the above answerer says is factual? There is no rule in the official baseball scores that say a pitcher cannot change his hands. However, just as a batter cannot switch while the pitcher is on the rubber, so too can the pitcher not switch while on the rubber, as that would be an illegal motion while in the set position and be considered a balk (with runners on) or a ball (with bases empty).


How do you winterize a hand pitcher pump?

To winterize a pitcher pump it is necessary to drain it. This can be done by raising the handle on pumps with that design. If your pump isn't designed with a draining feature, simply "break" the seal between the pump and the pipe, and the water will drain down to the level of the ground water and empty the pump.
