What must a baseball pitcher do in order to throw the baseball pitch called the slider?
ChuckSiata
The slider is a difficult pitch to master. It also requires a developed arm strength. With that in mind, a pitcher must first be willing to practice the pitch many times before its thrown in a real game. Also, because it is hard on the arm, first master the curve ball and the fastball. When all three things are done, a pitcher is ready to use the slider in a real game.

How does a relief picher get a win in baseball?

The Pitcher's Mound is raised because in order for a pitcher to have the motion of going forward and having the ability of hitting the strike zone, or wherever the pitch is called, he needs to have the downward motion. This also increases his chances of being harder to hit. A great man of baseball once told me, "Live at the knees and you're golden."

What is the difference between the American and National baseball leagues about Substituting players?
As far as the rules are concerned, there are no differences between the two leagues. The differences are in strategy and how to use players and mostly involve the pitcher. One tactic used in the National League is called the 'double switch'. This usually occurs late in a close ball game when the pitcher is due up to bat in the following inning. When a manager comes out to remove a pitcher sometimes he will also remove a fielder. Usually, this fielder has batted in the previous inning, maybe even made the final out of the inning. Since the manager has replaced two players, he may designate where the players will bat in the batting order. So the manager will place the new fielder in the batting position of the pitcher and the pitcher in the batting order of the replaced player. That allows the new fielder to bat in the next inning and places the pitcher to bat much later in the order.
Baseball pitch Seconds to miles per hour?
A 100 m.p.h. fastball tavels at almost 147 feet per second, taking approximately .4 seconds to reach the catcher's glove after the pitcher releases the ball from the pitcher's mound. Therefore, a baseball (or any other object) will travel approximately 1.47 feet per second for each mile per hour of velocity. In order to calculate how long the pitch takes to reach the catcher after being delivered by the pitcher, divide 40 by the speed in miles per hour of the baseball to get the time in seconds.

How can you have more than three strikeouts in an inning?
In baseball, in order for a batter to be called out after the third strike, the catcher must catch the ball without it hitting the ground. If he does not, and there is no runner on first base, or there are two outs, the batter becomes a batter-runner. At this point, in order to make the out, the catcher must either tag the runner, or throw the ball to first for a force-out. Regardless of the outcome of the play, the pitcher is still awarded a strike-out. As an illustration, a pitcher can face two batters, and strike them both out. A third batter comes to the plate, receives three strikes against him, but due to an uncaught third strike, reach first. A fourth batter can then come to the plate, strike-out, and thus award the pitcher with his fourth strike-out in the inning.
