I don't know if they keep track of it, but I know Alex Cora had an 18 pitch at-bat against Matt Clement in 2004.  He fouled off 14 straight pitches, then homered.

Barry Bonds at 73 Home Runs. He did that on October 7, 2001.\n He hit at Pacific Bell Park, to left-center field, against Dennis Springer, the count was 1-1 none on base.
13577
In 1980 Mike Schmidt had 48 HR's. It was the most in his career. He led the Majors that year.

The average ball lasts 5-7 pitches.  If it touches the dirt it can affect the velocity of the pitchers throw.  You will often see a pitcher throw a ball back to the umpire so he can get rid of it and have the team use it for BP the next day.

well, the average number of pitches per ball is 7 pitches. So with about 200 pitches in a game, there are 1400 balls used per game. 1400 x 162 games in a season is 86800. That is a rough estimate.

Lou Gehrig did it in 1931 with 184 RBI's. He also hit 46 HR's and batted .341 for the season.\nThe guy was a stud.

Mark Wohlers has thrown 103 in Spring Training,  Nolan Ryan does have the official record by Guiness Book.  But that was clocked by Guiness.  They are not at all games.

Well, depending how theoretical you want to get.  There is an unenforced rule that a pitcher must throw a pitch within 20 seconds or a ball will be called.  He could do that 4 times, and a player would walk.  Then he could pick the player off.  The player would be out with 0 pitches.  Repeat 23 or 26 times, and you have a complete game without throwing a pitch.\n\nThe fact that the rule is not enforced is one problem with the scenario.  A player can also be out for changing which batter's box he stands in while the pitcher is ready to pitch.  So throw a few of those in there for variety's sake, and you get to 0 another way.

The greatest feat in sports is Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak. \n\nThe biggest flop is a tie between the Yankeesblowing the 3-1 lead against the Red Sox in 2004, Bill Buckner's gaff and the Sox blowing the Series in 1986 and Dan & Dave at the 1992 Olympics.

the pitcher is credited with a strikeout, however the team batting is not charged with an out.  thus, a pitcher can have more than 3 strikeouts in a single inning!
