If your team goes ahead in the top of the inning and a new pitcher goes in in the bottom of the inning - which pitcher gets the win - the starting pitcher or the 2nd pitcher?

The pitcher who got the last out in the previous bottom of that inning. In other word, that pitcher can be credited with the win by making only one pitch. If I'm called in as a reliever and get a ground out to end the inning and then my team goes ahead in the top of the next inning, I would be the winning pitcher. Even if i only threw one pitch.


Why is the first baseman always thrown a baseball at the end of an inning?

That ball is used by the first baseman to warm up the infield before the next inning. Instead of the first baseman hunting down a ball in the dugout to take out and warm up the infield he is thrown one as he runs off the field. It stays in his glove and he will have it when it is time to go back on the field and play defense.


How many times can a coach go to the pitchers mound before the pitcher has to leave the game in masquito r?

the rule for baseball. one time in the same inning if he goes back in the same inning the coach has to take the pitcher out. also when the coach in baseball passes the foul line that one visit he goes back again that second vist and he must be removed from pitching. In softball it same but instead of the foul line its the circle said the coach forgot to say something if she walks right back into that circle after visiting her pitcher that same inning just two seconds ago she must be removed.


Can a pitcher be put into a position on the field after pitching to pitch later in the game?

What is the fewest possible outs in a nine inning baseball game?

The home team would have to win the game. The home pitcher would face 27 batters and get 27 outs and the visiting pitcher would face 25 batters, getting 24 outs and allowing 1 to score somewhere between the first inning and the eighth inning. That would be 52 batters minimum for a 9 inning, 1-0 game.
