Pitchers run after pitching because of the lactic acid buildup in the arm. If the pitcher does not run, the lactic acid sits in their arm and that could be bad. So the pitcher runs to move the lactic acid around the body and distribute it evenly.
How do you teach your 9-year-old son not to throw the bat after hitting a pitch during the game?

How is it possible for a pitcher to make four or more strikeouts in one inning?
Yes.
In MLB history, that has happened 21 times in the American League and 30 times in the National League. The last time it happened in MLB was June 21, 2008 when Scot Shields of the Angels struckout out the Phillies' Greg Dobbs, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino (reached first base on an uncaught third strike), and Ryan Howard in the 8th inning.
Chuck Finley holds the MLB record for most 4 strikeout innings with 3.
If a runner does not touch third base but touches home are they out or does the run count?
It depends. If the runner hit a home run, and missed third he would be sent back to second base. If the runner was on second base to start and missed third he would be out. However, even if the umpire sees a runner miss a base the runner is not penalized unless the opposing team appeals.
The batter's average would be 280, and after hitting 3 of 4 would increase his average to 284.
That expression just means that he has played for several teams over the course of several years, and probably never has particularly distinguished himself as being especially good.
