Answer 2

Tom Cheney pitched a 16 inning complete game for the Washington Senators against the Baltimore Orioles on September 12, 1962. He threw 228 pitches and struckout 21 batters. The 21 strikeouts is an MLB all time record for strikeouts in one game.

Answer 3

April 27, 1993: Pirates knuckler Tim Wakefield tossed 172 pitches over 10+ innings in a 6-2 victory against the Atlanta Braves at Atlanta-Fulton County stadium. (Wakefield scored one of four Pirate runs in the 11th inning but was lifted after walking the first two batters in the bottom of the 11th.). It is the most pitches thrown by a pitcher in one game in the 1990s. Fernando Valenzuela, in 1987, was the last to throw that many pitches in a game. In the playoffs, the record is held by Luis Tiant, who threw 163 pitches in Game 4 of the 1975 World Series, a complete-game win for the Red Sox.

Answer 4

Without checking, Cy Young. He threw waaaaay more innings than anyone else. Pitch count data is spotty at best prior to the 1990s, but according the Baseball-reference.com the most pitches thrown:

in a single game is: 5/17/61, 207 pitches by Stan Williams in 11 innings

in a single season is: 4052 by Randy Johnson in 2001. Obviously nowhere near the record, but it's the best we've got.
