How much time does a pitcher have before he must pitch?

Answer 1

You have to put three fingers around the leather. I know because I am a pitcher. Then you start your winde up and turn your hand to face the opposite dirrection when your hand is at the top. Then you release the ball at your knees.

Answer 2

A Pitcher's time limit in pitching to a batter doesn't depend solely on the batter but also on when he (the Pitcher in question) has the Baseball in his possession however when he does have the ball in his possession and is on the mound then he has 12 seconds to deliver it to the plate however an exception to this rule is when runners are on base.

Answer 3

Yes, because if there isn't a time limit the roller could just not roll when their winning the game........The time limit is 10 seconds once the batter has stepped in the box and is ready to take the pitch.

Answer 4

There is no official time limit in Major League Baseball. In rare circumstances the umpires may either postpone the rest of the game due to bad weather, or if the game has been played for 5 full innings the team with the highest score wins.
