when it comes out the pitchers hand
0.39 seconds
A southpaw is a lefty. Sports like baseball track the stats of pitchers and batter also by noting the predominant side of brain.
A pitchers count is when the pitcher is leading the count and not the batter he is facing. (ex. If the count is 1-2 it would be a pitchers count because there are more strikes then balls.)
The 2nd one.
No, not a batter. Pitchers have struck out the side, and there have been unassisted triple plays though
25 foot steps.
Yes, there is no restriction on changing pitchers during an at bat, unless the current pitcher just entered the game and the batter is the first batter he faces. The pitcher must face at least one batter before he can be replaced, unless the pitcher is injured, or ejected from the game.
If he is running outside the baseline as he legally should, it's a foul ball. If he happens to be in the field of play he's out.
In MLB, according to Rule 6.05(d) the batter is called out. The play is scored as a strikeout.
Pitchers prefer batters to stand at an increased distance from the plate because this makes it easier to get them out with an outside pitch. In order to persuade the batter to stand further from the plate, pitchers will throw one or more pitchers very close to the batter's body hoping that the instinctive fear of being hit by a pitch will cause the batter to stand further from the plate on the next pitch. When the batter's teammates see this happening, they will shout encouragement to the batter telling him to "hang in there". In other words, don't move away from the plate and thereby give an advantage to the pitcher. Also nautical: Relief is coming soon.
