First of all, if a batter gets 56 hits out of 100 at bats he is batting .560! Rock on!!
This means 11/25 or 44% of the time, he did not get a hit.
(Remember that in realistic situation, figuring this would be much more complex. Some events while batting, such as a walk or a sacrifice, do not count as an at bat, where an error actually counts as an at bat without a hit.
If a player came to the plate 5 times in a game and went: 1B, Error at 3rd reaching safely, Sacrifice Fly, Walk, Strike out; that player would would not be 2 for 5, but actually 1 for 3)
Great answer...RAW.
What is the largest mlb stadium from home plate to outfield wall?
The tallest outfield wall is called the "Arch Nemesis," located at Sovereign Bank Stadium, home of the York Revolution in York, Pennsylvania. The wall is exactly 37 feet, 8 inches tall, making it six inches taller than the famous Green Monster at Fenway Park.
What is the best breaking pitch?
I depends on your viewpoint, but the best basic breaking pitch is the "breaking ball" or curveball, but if you're looking to go fancy you can try the pitch made famous by Daisuke Matsuzaka the gyro ball. But if that's too fancy you can try the old knuckle ball.
How many players managers and executives do the Giants have in the baseball hall of fame?
Sixty-six representatives of the Giants (55 players and 11 managers) have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, more than any other team in the history of baseball. The Dodgers franchise is second (45 players, 9 managers) and the New York Yankees are third (41 players, 11 managers).
What education and training do you need to became a pro baseball player?
Reading and writing is non-essential.You need to be touching 7ft with an ability to bounce a rubber ball whilst lazily ambling up a wooden court.The ability to be nasty enough to sharply elbow a smaller player in the face,probably shattering his cheek bone whilst putting said rubber ball throgh a head height hoop with a net would also be high on the list.
Disregard everything above for your chosen profession i thought you said basketball!
Heres my info on baseball.
Reading and writing again non-essential,but,you`ll be pleased to hear,
height doesnt matter!You can be a right ,fat ,shortarse and still do marvelousely at this game.
First ask your sister/cousin to show you how to play rounders.You`ll then gleefully realise that you don't have to aquire the skills or dicipline to bowl aball with all its complexities as in cricket,you just bloody throw it as hard as you can,Bloody Marvelous!!
The same with batting,just bloody hit it as hard as you can then toddle around a girls rounders court.
Obviously only stupid countries play this game so you`ll have to travel far a field to get a job.The upside is though once you get there your quids in to get on any team that takes your fancy!
Again,good luck on your chosen profession ,i`ll expect a signed hat through the post when you get your first signet ring! Marvelous!

Has any pitcher won a game without making an official pitch?
Yes.
The last time it happened in MLB was in the 2009 season in a game between the Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies. Alan Embree of the Rockies was brought in with 2 outs in the top of the 8th inning and the score tied at 4. He picked Austin Kearns of the Nats off first for the third out before throwing a pitch to the batter. He was pinch hit for in the bottom of the 8th and the Rockies scored a run to take a 5-4 lead. Huston Street came in to pitch the top of the 9th and got the save.
B. J. Ryan of the Baltimore Orioles won a game without throwing a pitch against the Detroit Tigers on May 1, 2003. He was brought in with 2 out in the bottom of the 7th with the score tied at 2. He picked the runner off first base for the third out before throwing a pitch to the batter. The Orioles scored in the top of the eighth, Ryan was replaced, and the Orioles wound up winning 5-2.
What player was famous for the pine tar bat incident?
Pete Rose
>>The pine tar incident wasn't with Pete Rose but rather it was George Brett against the New York Yankees, where he crushed a home run to right field to take the lead for the Royals. This home run was then overturned when Yankee manager Billy Martin argued that Brett's pine tar was too far up on the barrel, the logic being that the ball would stick to the bat better, staying on the barrel longer and going farther.
Pete Rose is infamous for betting on baseball while playing and managing and then lying about it for a very long time. This move has gotten him banned for baseball and has kept him out of the hall of fame even though he holds the major league record for hits.

In mlb the show 10 Where is your created player and how do you put him on a roster?
After you create a player, he is placed on the Free Agents list. Create all of the players you want to create first before you do anything else.
Remember, these are players that are created OUTSIDE of a season game, so don't start a new season until after you have made your players.
Now go into the Rosters section and you can manage your rosters the way you want. You can trade players on your team with players in the Free Agent list. When you have made all your trades and your roster is finished, you can then save your roster on the memory card.
Now you start your new season and use the roster you saved. Your created players will be on the team, ready to play.

Baseball is better because in soccer all you do is kick the ball. In baseball you need to be able to catch, throw, and hit properly not just kick.
