MLB teams have a five man starting rotation. That means the starting pitcher will pitch a game and not pitch for the next four games.

What determines the winning pitcher in a MLB game?

In almost all cases, the starting pitcher has to last at least five innings and his team must a) be in the lead before a reliever throws a pitch, and b) maintain the lead for the rest of the game. For a reliever to get a win, it's the same minus the five-inning provision. Losses are different, since that is based on the runs for which the pitcher is "responsible" -- ones that reached base against him while he was in the game. As for the save, the pitcher must finish a game that the team wins and meet conditions, most pertaining to how close the margin is when he enters the game, outlined in the rule.

Lou Gehrig was not drafted. He was signed as a free agent by the New York Yankees in 1923.

How many pitches can a pitcher pitch in a game?

That would depend on whether the pitcher is a starter or reliever. A starting pitcher generally pitches 1 game every 5 days because they pitch a lot of innings each game. Over an MLB season this would mean the #1 starter on a team, over the course of a season where they did not miss a start, would pitch 33-35 games per season. The #1 might get an extra start or two in a season in situations where the team had a day off and the manager decided to go with the #1 starter in a game as opposed to the #5 starter since the #1 had his required number of days of rest. Two of the best starting pitchers in MLB in 2010, Roy Halladay and C.C. Sabathia, pitched in 33 and 34 games, respectively. A relief pitcher, especially a closer or pitcher that is brought to pitch to only one batter, could pitch in many more games than a starting pitcher because they don't pitch as many innings as a starting pitcher. Two of the best closers in MLB in 2010, Brian Wilson and Rafael Soriano, pitched in 70 and 64 games, respectively. Generally, they pitched only one inning per game. Two of the best situation pitchers in MLB in 2010, Pedro Feliciano and Randy Choate, pitched in 92 and 85 games, respectively. Feliciano pitched in 62 2/3 innings and Choate pitched in 44 2/3 innings. In many games these guys, both left handers, were brought in to face only one or two hitters who were left handed.

Can a major league starting pitcher pitch on consecutive days?

If you're talking MLB, then there is no rule. For example the Yankees just pitched CC Sabathia on three days rest, if they wanted to they could start him tomorrow for game 5 of the 2009 world series. But that would probably be extremely unwise.Pitcher's rest is about saving that pitcher's arm, as the more tired or overworked the arm, the more prone the pitcher becomes to injuries. Typically 4-5 days of rest or a pitcher has one start roughly once a week as a general rule of thumb, hence your 4-5 starting rotation.Again no rule exists and say the Phillies win game 5 behind Cliff Lee, and say Lee goes 6 innings and throws 50 pitches. Then if the Phillies need to call on him in game 5, the may just do so for 5 innings. It's rare but has been done before. It would be a suprise to see him at least come out of the bullpen if the above scenario happens.For pitch rest in other leagues, Little League for example: The days vary by the number of pitches thrown by that pitcher. Example: If Johnny pitches on Saturday and throws 60 pitches, then he needs one calendar day of rest, so if he has a game on Tuesday he's eligible to pitch again, but not Sunday. I believe LL (12/13 and under) just added a pitch count rule of a pitcher can throw a max of 80/85 pitches. This is a safety measure to prevent injury and save the kids arm.hope that helps.

What positions did Babe Ruth play?

Babe Ruth began his MLB career as a pitcher but moved to the outfield, primarily right field, when he proved how good of a hitter he was. He also played a few games at first base. Babe Ruth started his Major League career as a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox and was primarily a pitcher for several seasons. Because of his hitting ability, the Red Sox moved him to the outfield where he was a regular in 1919. He was sold to the Yankees in 1920 and, although he pitched in a few games for the Yanks, the rest of his career he was primarily a right fielder although he played a few games as a first baseman.
