In MLB, the team that is behind must have at least five full at bats for a Baseball game to be considered complete. If the home team is ahead, the game must go 4 1/2 innings. If the home team is behind, the game must go 5 innings.
A complete game means the entire game. It entirely depends on how many innings are played in the game. I suppose then the answer to your question is nine, as that is the minimum number of innings in an mlb game. If that game goes into extra innings, the pitcher will have to continue to pitch until the end of that game. ---- In MLB, the game must go at least 4 1/2 innings to be considered complete if it starts raining or something else happens to cause the field to become dangerous to play on.
As far as I know, the record is 4 pitches, thrown by the Detroit Tigers pitcher Edwin Jackson. In the fifth inning of the 2009 All-Star game Edwin Jackson retired St Louis Cardinal Yadier Molina on one pitch, Washington Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman hit into a ground out with one strike on him, and Hanley Ramirez, from the Florida Marlins popped up the first pitch he saw, thus giving Jackson the shortest pitching appearance in All-Star game history.

NO!! As long as the coach wants to leave the pitcher in he can hit everybody.I hit 9 in a game once.
To pitch a perfect game there cannot be any hits. Reached on errors are not counted as hits and do not factor against a prefect game. There cannot be any walk of hit-by -pitches. For one pitcher to throw a perfect game, she has to pitch the entire game.

Yes. Koufax threw a perfect game against the Chicago Cubs on September 9, 1965 winning 1-0. The game was a record setter as the Cubs pitcher, Bob Hendley, pitched a one-hitter and the one hit by both teams is the fewest combined hits allowed in a game in MLB history.
Add up your hits, walks, and hit by pitches and divide by the number you get when adding up your at bats, walks, hit by pitches, and sacrifice flies. As an example, we'll use Albert Pujols 2011 stats ... Hits - 173 Walks - 61 Hit by Pitches - 4 At Bats - 579 Sacrifice Flies - 7 The OBP would be calculated as ... (173 + 61 + 4) divided by (579 + 61 + 4 + 7) which equals ... 238 divided by 651 which equals .03655 which would round to .0366. Albert's OBP for the 2011 season was .0366.
Yes, if the ball pitches in line with the leg stump and would have gone on to hit the leg stump, it is out LBW. However, if the ball pitches outside the leg stump, the batsman cannot be given out LBW even if the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps.
683 pitches is the most thrown a pitcher lol
