The most I can find is six, by the Oakland Athletics vs the Cleveland Indians during a 45-minute-long ninth inning on September 3, 1983.
Not necessarily. A pitcher could have a decent ERA but give up several hits and walks an inning. An adequate way to evaluate a pitcher would be to look at his WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched), along with ERA

WHIP in baseball is calculated by adding a pitcher's walks and hits allowed, then dividing that total by the number of innings pitched. It stands for "Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched." A lower WHIP indicates that a pitcher is more effective at preventing baserunners, as it measures how many runners a pitcher allows on base per inning pitched.
It's the walks and hits per inning pitched. In other words it's the average number of walk and hits a pitcher gives up per inning pitched.

The win goes to the relief pitcher (assuming there was more than one relief pitcher) whom the official scorer feels was most instrumental in the victory. That relief pitcher must pitch at least 1 full inning, or pitch a crucial out if he pitches less than one inning.
I believe it refers to "Walks" plus "Hits" per inning. Add the total number of Walks and the total number of Hits allowed by a pitcher, then divide by the total number of innings he pitched, and you get WHP.
The starting pitcher.
W.H.I.P. stands for Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched. It is a statistic used in baseball to measure a pitcher's effectiveness in preventing opposing batters from reaching base. It is calculated by adding the number of walks and hits a pitcher allows, and dividing by the total number of innings pitched.
As many walks that a pitcher will allow. Most Baseball games usually have 2-4. But it really is more a random number
The pitcher who got the last out in the previous bottom of that inning. In other word, that pitcher can be credited with the win by making only one pitch. If I'm called in as a reliever and get a ground out to end the inning and then my team goes ahead in the top of the next inning, I would be the winning pitcher. Even if i only threw one pitch.
Nolan Ryan has given up the most walks with 2,795 in his 27 years of playing.
