Has a major league baseball player ever made three outs in one inning?

Did glenn wrights unassisted triple play on May 7 1925 end the game?
No. Glenn Wright was playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates at the time, who were at home to the St Louis Cardinals. St Louis were leading 10-9 when Wright's unassisted triple play ended their inning, but because the Pirates were trailing they had to play out the bottom of the ninth. 10-9 ended up being the final score. Only two of the fifteen unassisted triple plays in the MLB have ended the game: Johnny Neun of the Detroit Tigers, who beat the Cleveland Indians 1-0 on May 31, 1927, and Eric Bruntlett of the Philadelphia Phillies, who beat the New York Mets 9-7 on August 23, 2009.
Why is the pitcher considered the most important defensive player on the team in baseball?
The pitcher in baseball at all levels of the game is vital to the defensive of the team. This holds true for youth baseball, college and professional baseball as well. Generally speaking the pitcher is the most important defensive player because he is involved with every single play in the inning pitched. The same is true for the team catcher, however, the pitcher must throw his pitch in a manner that prevents a batter from getting on base. If a pitcher cannot make most batters draw a strike or have the batter hit the ball to one of his teammates then the defense is in trouble.

Has any MLB batter caused all three outs in one inning?
Probably a bunch. A fly out to the centerfielder is an unassisted putout. So is a ground ball to the first baseman. It doesn't happen every inning, but it certainly is not RARE for one player to make all 3 outs unassisted. I suspect it has happened thousands of times. ---- Also, if a pitcher strikes out the side the catcher is credited with three putouts as long as he catches all three strike threes or doesn't have to throw to first base to get a batter who is running due to the uncaught third strike rule. ---- Yes, but the PITCHER gets an assist on a strikeout. So, even though the catcher gets credit for all three putouts when the pitcher strikes out the side, the outs are not "unassisted", which was a criteria on the question. Also, your exception about the catcher dropping strike 3 only applies if the batter swung at the ball. Also, first base has to be empty, unless there are already two outs. Furthermore, ironically, if all three outs were swinging strike-outs, and the catcher dropped the ball on all three third strikes, if he then successfully tagged all three batters before they got to first base (rather than just throwing the ball to first), then he would have accomplished the feat - 3 unassisted putouts in one inning. However, I expect that this method is very unlikely, and has probably never happened in MLB. As a side note, I saw a game once (a college game) in which one player very nearly GOT put out 3 times in an inning. That, if it had occurred, would have probably been unique in all of baseball. First of all, you have to come up to the plate 3 times in the same inning. That is very rare, as it requires everyone else to come up to the plate at least twice, which means a total of at least 19 batters in the inning, and also at least 13 runs scored. Second, you have to be hitting so badly that you can't get on base, when EVERYONE ELSE ON YOUR TEAM CAN, TWICE. The player in question (Warren Morris, LSU) was the first batter of the inning, and grounded out. The next 8 batters reached base safely, and Morris came up again, and struck out. Again, all 8 other batters reached base safely and Morris came up again. He got a hit this time. He didn't get another chance to accomplish this "feat". LSU scored 18 runs in that inning. Ironically, Morris was probably the best hitter on that team. He got a hit in every game he played in that season (though he missed the majority of it due to a wrist injury). He was, in fact, the hero of the most dramatic finish ever in any baseball championship game, hitting a homer with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth of the final game of the college world series. ----- Oops, you are absolutely correct. However, the assist is not recorded as an assist in the boxscore. The rules were changed in 1889 to not credit the pitcher with an assist on a strikeout. Also, the uncaught third strike rule is in effect whether the batter swings at strike three or not as long as there are less than two outs and first base is not occupied (Rule 6.05(b) and Rule 6.09(b)). Regardless, I need to start reading these questions a little more carefully. ---- Grady Sizemore did it tonight (June 12/08) in the top of the ninth, hes a centerfielder.
