What is the greatest amount of strikeouts by an individual pitcher in a single baseball game?
408064
So far Roger Clemens struck out 20 in '86 for BOSTON, and again 10 years later for the RED SOX again.  Then Kerry Wood did it in his ROOKIE YEAR! for the CUBS, 20 K's... NOTE, both righty's THE BIG UNIT, RANDY JOHNSON struck out 19 twice while playing for the Mariners.

No.. a pitcher can only receive one or the other.  If he wins the game that means the team took the lead while he was the active pitcher, while a save can only be recorded when you enter the game with a lead intact.

The top three:\n\nRoy Face, 1959 W/L record 18-1, 13 saves\nJohn Hiller 1974   17-14, 13 saves\nBill Campbell 1976  17-5, 20 saves\n\n(Also four 16 game winners, six 15 game winners, twelve 14 game winners, fourteen 13 game winners, twenty four 12 game winners, thirty five 11 game winners, and eighty-six 10 game winners who did not start a game)\n\nSince 1900, there have been 184 instances in which a pitcher has won 10 or more games in a season without starting a single game (does not include 2005 data).

Pitcher's statistic: Ratio of strikeouts (k) to walks (bb).  If a pitcher has struckout 10 batters, and walked 5, his k/bb = 10/5, or 2.0.  \n\nIt's an indication of his command, if he strikes out more batters than he walks, he has good control of his pitches.

The pitchers name is Tracy Stallard and he was pitching for the Red Sox.  It was actually the only run Stallard gave up that game.\n\nMatt

Any pitcher who substitutes for the starting pitcher. \nThere's usually 11-12 pitchers to a team. 5 are starters and the rest are relievers. You've got the middle relievers for games where the game is out of reach or there's an injury, then set-up men for late inning (7-9 inn's) relief and the closer, who comes in the last inning to shut the other team down if it's close (3-4 run lead) and if he holds them, he gets a save. Sometimes he'll come in if it's tied in the 9th, too. \nRelievers are a huge part of the game today because there's way more good/powerful hitting now and way less good pitching.\nHope that helps.

Monday, June 16\n \nAn MVP's encore: Playing in 500 straight games\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nESPN.com news services\n\n \nOakland Athletics shortstop Miguel Tejada, who on Sunday played in his 499th consecutive game, the longest active streak in baseball, is expected to suit up for No. 500 on Tuesday against the visiting Texas Rangers.\n\n \nNEW YORK -- Hideki Matsui tried for a sliding catch, landed hard on his left wrist and grimaced.\n\nHis consecutive games streak was over at 518 -- and perhaps his season, too.\n\n\nSecond:\n\nThe closest current active streak is 361 by Texas Rangers first baseman and former Mount St. Joseph star Mark Teixeira. \n\nYou didn't specify that you wanted the longest and the second longest, therefore the question was answered as asked.

my best answer would be 6:  first 3 guys up all get singles, to load the bases with no outs, next guy gets a single, but the runner on 3rd is called out for interfering while baserunning.  then this happens 2 more times and the inning is over.  6 base hits, no runs, inning over.  tough question though.

One name: Steve Dalkowski.  You could talk about him for five minutes or five hours, but he might be the most interesting baseball figure of all time, though he never made the majors.  He was a minor league phenom who played in the 1960s and was rumored to throw 110 mph.  Not surprisingly, he had massive control problems and just when he started to put it all together, he blew out his elbow.  There's a lot of stuff on the Internet about him, but there's one particularly good interview here:  http://www.widewordofsports.com/Articles-016.htm

Jose Contreras is by far my coice for the best pitcher in the major leagues. He has gifted the White Sox with quite a winning streak of 15 games straight this season and hasn't lost since last year!

It was Lou Gehrig with 184 in 1931.  Babe Ruth's highest total was 164 in 1927, and Hack Wilson was a right-handed batter.\n\nhttp://www.baseball-reference.com/g/gehrilo01.shtml

Yes, it has been done by 12 players.  Most recently by Bill Mueller in 2003 for the Boston Red Sox.  He hit one grand slam from each side of the plate in the same game.

Most teams will have 11 or 12 pitchers:   5 will be starting pitchers, the rest in the bullpen.  Of the bullpen guys, you'll have 1 closer, 2 setup men (i.e., 8th inning), and the last 3-4 are situational or long relievers.

According to the official MLB rules book:\n\nSAVES FOR RELIEF PITCHERS \n10.20\nCredit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions: (1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and (2) He is not the winning pitcher; and (3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions: (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces); or (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.
