HI
"...So the answer to the maximum number of pitches in an offical at bat with out balls is 6. when the count gets to 3 balls 2 strikes the next pitch will end the at bat. hence 6 pitches..."
Actually, the answer is ten. The question was:
What is the maximum number of pitches can be delivered in one at bat with no foul balls and the batter still be at bat? If the batter has a full count and there is a base runner who gets picked off while trying to steal a base, the inning ends but the official "at bat" does not. That batter is up again at the begining of the next inning, and if he takes another full count, he has had 10 pitches thrown at him, he hasn't swung once and he is still at bat. At least that's what my Daddy says.
I remember growing and my father making me morize certain things. One of them was the 5 ways that a batter could get to first base. I had a hard time keeping up with those 5, I'm sooooo glad that he didn't know there were twice and as many.
Oh well.
See ya soon!

:)1) hit
2) walk
3) Hit By Pitch
4) error
5) dropped 3rd strke
6) Fielder's Choice
7) catcher interference
8) umpire interference
9) fan interference (???)
10) pinch hitter
11) batted ball hits another runner
12) 4 illegal pitches (Is this a politican at election time???)
13) pitcher fails to deliver the pitch w/i 20 seconds 14) and if a game is suspended with a runner on 1B, and that player is traded prior to the make up game, another player can take his place on first (this could also be under the category of pinch hitter though)
Yeah, the last one would fall into the category of pinch hitter which doesn't count in this question. So, number 10 doesn't count either, that means that you have 12 which has impressed the hell out of my father and my son who are currently debating some of these, others they have endorsed. My dad could kick himself for not remembering the "runner hit by batted ball" one himself. Now they are trying to figure out what an "illegal pitch" is...can you please tell them?
