Were do the visits counts for a pitcher at the mound or the line?
Rule 8.06 of the Official Baseball Rules (2011, pp 78-79) does not state where the visit counts, but it does state that the visit is officially over when the coach or manager leaves the 18' circle of the pitcher's mound. If he turns around to talk to the pitcher after he walks off the mound, it is considered a second visit and the pitcher must be replaced. For the rest of this answer I will just use "coach." The coach does not get counted for a mound visit when he steps over the line, because he is allowed to visit an infielder as well. However, if that infielder then communicates with the pitcher, it will be counted as a mound visit. So basically, it is considered a mound visit if the coach goes out to communicate in some way or another to the pitcher. Let's just assume that the coach isn't stupid and wants to communicate with the pitcher in a way that the other team can't hear him. He would be counted a visit the moment he stepped foot on the mound, as the umpires would then know his intention is to talk to the pitcher.
What would be the penalty if a relief pitcher was injured while warming up and failed to face at least one batter?
There is no penalty to replace an injured player or pitcher. A new relief pitcher would be allowed to enter and replace the injured pitcher, and would be allowed sufficient time to warm up.
If you change pitchers at the beginning of an inning and before the umpire calls the batter to the plate can you talk to your new pitcher without being charged a visit to the mound?
I apologize, but my answers keep getting deleted, or changed .If you send out your old pitcher (I will clarify so it doesn't get deleted again) -- the pitcher that was previously in -- you can go out to the mound at that time before he faces a pitcher and make the change.. by doing this you would essentially get a free visit to the mound as the visit would go towards the old pitcher, not the new --- a pitcher that has pitched in previous innings, does not have to pitch to anyone just because he came in to start the inning.
When a pitcher allows 5 runs in first inning and then a Relief pitcher comes in and allows 7 more runs to end game 12 to 5 Who gets the loss?
That would depend on when those five runs were scored for the pitcher's team. If the team was always behind in the game, the first pitcher would get the loss. However, if the pitcher's team made the score 5-5 before the relief pitcher gave up the seven runs, then the relief pitcher would get the loss.
Does a pitcher have to be a starter to be reinserted on the mound?
In most rules, once a pitcher is removed as pitcher, he may not return to the position of pitchers. Only certain leagues have by-laws that would allow this for a starting pitcher, let alone a reliever.
The pitcher's mound in baseball is 85m from the plate. It takes seconds for a pitch to reach the plate. How fast is the pitch.?
It would take the ball .26 sec. to get from the pitcher to the batter.
Who authenticates the dimensions of the pitcher's mound?
I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume the MLB Commissioner is responsible for authentication of an entire ballpark's dimensions.
What does the JIP in baseball stand for?
IP stands for Innings Pitched. It is a pitching statistics that records the amount of innings the pitcher pitched. It can be divided into thirds by the outs that were recorded while the pitcher was still on the mound. For example: Its the 5th inning and there are 2 outs. The pitcher needs to be taken out of the game and is replaced with another pitcher. The number of innings pitched for this game would be 4 2/3. The relief pitcher would then pitch 2 1/3. This would add up to the complete 7 inning game.
What would be the area of the circle around the pitcher's mound if it's 18ft across?
A circle with an 18-foot diameter has an area of: 254.5 square feet.
What is the distance from second base to pitcher in softball?
To do this you would use Pathagreon's Theory. 602 + 602 = (square root of) 7200 = ~84.85 feet. This represents that straight line between the bases. It measure from the tip of one bag to the tip of the other bag. So to determine how far to the pitcher's mound you would divide this number by 2. This give you approximately 42.425 feet fromt eh tip od thrid base to the edge of the pitchers mound.
Who was the long relief pitcher for the New York Yankees in 2009?
When Sergio Mitre was not starting, he would come in to the game as the long reliever, as would Chad Gaudin. Alfredo Aceves was called on the most for long relief duties in 2009.
Do you measure the distance from the pitchers mound to home plate from the back corner of home plate?
You start at the pointy end of home plate and measure 60 feet 6 inches towards second base. That is where you would place the front of the pitcher's rubber. Then from the middle of the pitcher's rubber you measure 18 inches towards home plate and mark that spot. Measure an 18 foot radius around the marked spot. That is the pitcher's mound boundary. To make sure you're correct, you would then measure from the front of the mound to the front of the pitcher's rubber. It should equal 11 feet 6 inches.
