Brilliant! that bounces the pitch count to 11!

Yeah, I'll buy that.

I was doing horrible addition this morning, my brain hurt.

Yes. That's one way, though I'm not completely sure both times at the plate are considered one at-bat. Batter gets a 3 - 2 count. Runner gets picked off and ends the inning. Batter comes up in the next inning with a fresh count.

The other is if the batter gets a full count then the game gets called due to rain. When the game resumes, the batter will have a 0 - 0 count and it is considered the same at-bat.

My uncle used to be a big baseball stat guy and would hound me with questions like this... I have millions of them :)

So the real answer would be 16 then?

following that logic, the game could be delayed again after 5 pitches. 21?

Lance Parrish holds the record for the highest base stealing percentage for a season for a catcher.

He went 8 for 8 in '84.




Nolan Ryan once threw 259 pitches in a 12-inning game in 1974. :shocked:

Well technically the game could keep getting called due to rain every 5 pitches and give you a pretty much unlimited count, but in the real world that's only going to happen so many times.;)
