Minimum number of pitches for a complete game

I'm talking about total team pitches, not what is needed for an individual to be declared the 'winning pitcher'. Jan 2, 9, 0 0. Mar 28, 1, 30 Mar 31, 13, 4 Mar 5, 49, www. Definitely 0, as mentioned above. But, isn't there a simpler way for a team to get a win: the other team forfeits. Zero pitches. Game 2 of the World Series was forfeited when St. Louis pulled its team from the field to protest the umpiring.

Disco Demolition Night: On July 12, , the Chicago White Sox held a game in which Chicago radio personality Steve Dahl came onto the field to blow up a box full of disco records between games of a doubleheader. Rowdy and intoxicated fans, who had packed Comiskey Park beyond capacity, immediately stormed the field, engaged in various acts of vandalism and theft, and refused to leave the field until the arrival of Chicago Police in full riot gear.

Umpires postponed the game. American League President Lee MacPhail later declared the second game of the doubleheader a forfeit victory for the visiting Detroit Tigers.

Somewhat of a trick question: the fewest outs will also be, with maybe one exception, the most outs.

There are three outs per innings per side, this makes for six outs in an inning. There are a total of nine innings. In some versions of the game, if the last side to bat has already won the game they can elect to not bat that innings, therefore making the fewest possible outs in a baseball game 51 instead.

There are many pitchers who have made the fewest pitches in one inning. Each batter swung at the first pitch and it resulted in an out. It still happens today, although it's usually four to six.

In the history of Baseball, as of the Major League Baseball MLB season, 21 perfect games "27 up, 27 down" have been thrown - 19 of which have been thrown in the Modern Era. Of these 21 perfect games thrown, none has been pitched with only 27 pitches being thrown.

On record, the fewest pitches thrown in a perfect game was 74 pitches thrown by Addie Joss of the Cleveland Naps against the Chicago White Sox on October 2, What in the hell is a "crikate?

No wonder no one's answered this question! Fifty-eight pitches, Red Barret of the Boston Braves against the Cinncinati Reds in a complete game shutout, The usa. I'm sure it's 1, but I can't think of any particular instances of that. One strange instance that sticks out in my mind was during the World Series, when Tony LaRussa made a pitching change and called Lance Lynn in from the bullpen. Lynn faced one batter, intentionally walked him, and then another pitching change was made.

If you're talking about complete games by starting pitchers, Charley "Red" Barrett of the Boston Braves only needed 58 pitches to go all 9 innings on August 10, Barrett's Braves shutout the Reds 2 - 0 and the game set major league records for least number of pitches known to have been thrown by a single pitcher in a complete game and shortest game played at night.

Australia has the second fewest people. Antarctica has the fewest people. Pick the one with the fewest apples. The Cubs had to be thrilled with Hendricks' performance Friday. He got off to a slow start this season with a 5. Hendricks has been one of the few Chicago starters who has struggled in I'm curious, what years or parts of years does the database have pitch counts for? Or to put in another way, when we do a PI search for pitch count, what years or parts of years are we looking at?
