Pitch count has nothing to do with eligibility to be the winning pitcher. In a scheduled 9-inning game, the starting pitcher must pitch 5 complete innings to be eligible to be the winning pitcher. Relief pitchers must be the pitcher of record when the winning team takes the lead, and never relinquishes the lead, to be the winning pitcher.

In MLB, once a player is taken out of the game the player may not return to the game. So a pitcher would not be allowed to return to the game once he is taken out.

For a nine inning perfect game the pitcher would record 27 outs (3 outs in each of the 9 innings).
27 pitches. If a pitcher can get every batter out with one pitch then the total amount of pitches for the game for that pitcher will be 27.
He is a pitcher...he mostly closes (Pitches last inning/s (1/9) of a game for the Yankees)
No he does not. You must enter the game with the score being within 3 runs of the other team. But if the pitcher pitches three innings without giving up the lead, (after the starter) then he is awarded the save as well. example: 1-0, 5-2, 9-8
# He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team # He is not the winning pitcher # He is credited with at least ⅓ of an inning pitched # He satisfies one of the following conditions: ## He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning ## He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck ## He pitches for at least three innings

If the relief pitcher pitches 3 innings, and completes the game, and never gave up the lead, he would get a save.
For each full inning pitched, calculate 1 into the IP. If a pitcher only pitches part of an inning, find the number of outs and calculate it into a decimal. For example, let's say a pitcher pitched 5 innings and left the game with two outs. His IP would be 5.2. The reliever for him pitches 2 innings and leaves the game with no outs. Since he came in with two outs and continued two more innings, he would have 2.1 IP. The closing pitches pitches the rest of the game, or 2 innings. He would have 2 IP.
One.
For a pitcher, 0. A pitcher can come in to relieve another, get the final out of an inning on a pickoff, and his team takes the lead in the next inning, while he is the pitcher of record. For a team, 15. Each out takes at least one pitch. A pitcher would have to get 15 outs, and the game would have to be called after five innings for weather or another such distraction.
Pitchers in MLB and the minor leagues get eight warmup pitches when entering a game unless they are entering the game due to an injury to the previous pitcher. If the previous pitcher was injured the relieving pitcher may take as many warmup pitches as the umpire deems necessary. Rule 8.03
