Yes. A catcher gets credited with the putout on a strikeout if the ball is caught cleanly. In the event of a dropped third strike, if the catcher tags the hitter, he again gets credited with the putout. If the third strike is dropped and the catcher must throw down to first, the catcher gets credited with an assist and the first baseman gets credited with the putout. In no case would the pitcher get credit for the putout or assist.

On a Major League (MLB) roster, each team is allowed 25 "active" players on their rosters from the beginning of the season in March until the end of August. On September 1st, rosters are expanded to 40 players for the remainder of the regular season, typically lasting until the first week in October, at which time rosters are contracted back down to 25 players for those teams that have qualified for the postseason. So, from the beginning of the season until the last day in August teams have either 15 or 16 reserve players available to them (as American League teams utilize the designated hitter effectively producing 10 starters per game, whereas National League teams do not utilize the designated hitter), expanding to 30 or 31 reserve players (American League and National League respectively) from September 1st until the end of the regular season, contracting again to 15 (AL) or 16 (NL) for the duration of the playoffs. Although, not all "reserve" players are considered available for any given game as "starting" pitchers (of which, each team typically retains 5 for the regular season and 3 for the postseason) have "scheduled" starts and are not typically considered available for every game, atypical situations (playoff/important games, pure necessity) excluded.

First base, the outfield and pitcher are the easiest positions for left handers in baseball.

By the way, one of the great moments in baseball history involved the timely insertion of a left-handed fielder. In Game 7 of the 1955 World Series, the Brooklyn Dodgers had a 2-0 lead against the New York Yankees in the bottom of the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium.

Dodgers manager Walter Alston sent in left-hander Sandy Amoros as a defensive replacement in left field. With runners on first and second, Yankees catcher Yogi Berra hit a drive toward the left-field corner. Amoros was the right man in left at the right time because he easily caught the ball with his gloved right hand. The play would have been tougher for a righty wearing a glove on his left hand.

After making the catch, Amoros fired the ball to the infield. Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese caught the ball and relayed it to first base, where Brooklyn's Gil Hodges tagged out New York's Gil McDougald for a double play. The next batter, Hank Bauer, grounded out, and Brooklyn went on to win its first world championship.

Number of Pitches, I believe.

A team president concerns himself or herself with all aspects of the baseball team, including the office personnel. A General Manager tends to deal only with the actual game side of the team, meaning hiring and firing managers, and drafting players and signing free agents.

As of the start of the 2007 season, the Rockies have never won a pennant nor played in a World Series.

The weight of a baseball bat in grams will vary depending on what one prefers. The average weight for a standard baseball bat is 465 grams.

Pitching a fast ball at 69 mph will not harm a 13 year old. A 13 year old should not be allowed to pitch a curve ball or any other pitch that may hurt his pitching arm. Curve balls should never be pitched by any boy under the age of 16.

Wooden bats are actually not as good because a wooden bat bends while an aluminum bat stays stiff. The majors use wooden bats for two reasons...

1. If major leaguers used aluminum bats almost every pitch that came to them would be a home run. There's too much pop.

2. Imagine your a pitcher having a line drive hit back at you. Especially with aluminum bats. It would kill them. There's a safety concern and again there's just too much pop.

---------------------------------

Aluminum bats have two negative effects on the game itself:

1. They take away the pitcher's strategy of throwing hard inside with the goal of breaking the bat.

2. They teach players that they can hit an inside pitch easily. This means that pitchers do not have good results throwing inside. As a result, many pitchers from universities have to spend time in the minor leagues to teach them how to throw inside effectively.

At first, aluminum bats produced a faster traveling ball when the ball was hit sharply, but modern aluminum bats can be tuned to almost perfectly mimic the response off of a wooden bat.

Because they are a "club" of players. They form a club.

If the game is in progress the number is that of the pitcher currently pitching for the team. If the game is over the number is that of the pitcher who was credited with the win or loss for the team.

Before the season starts Major League umpires are put into crews, and the crews are scheduled for their games by Major League Baseball. Once the playoffs start individual umpires are selected based on their grades during the season.

The amount of money an MLB player receives as a pension depends on how many years they are in the league. After just 43 days of employment in Major League Baseball, a player is eligible to receive $34,000 per year in pension money. Many players who play 10 or more years receive $100,000 per year, some more.
