</p> </p> His line from Saturdays game:</p> .1 inning pitched</p> 1 strikeout</p> 1 pitch thrown</p> </p> Thats Right! He struck out the only batter he faced on 1 pitch....entering the game after a rain delay, he assumed the 1-2 count that Bob Howry had established on Chris Duncan and threw a single breaking ball that resulting in a swinging strike three....1 pitch, 1 K....</p> </p> </p>
Re: Carmen Pignatiello makes the most efficient pitching appearance in MLB histo... Several times I've seen a guy brought in, before throwing a pitch he had picked someone off.</p> 1 out, 0 pitches, far more efficient.</p> -Petey</p>
Re: Carmen Pignatiello makes the most efficient pitching appearance in MLB histo... Dividing by zero destroys any calculation, therefore there is no efficiency

Re: Carmen Pignatiello makes the most efficient pitching appearance in MLB histo... I have found one occurance in which a pitcher got an out and recorded the win without throwing a pitch(BJ Ryan)....its debatable whether that can be judged as more efficent than Pig's appearance, but it wont matter because I found a more effecient performance anyway....the following is from baseball-fever.com:</p> </p> Then there's this one from 7/27/1930</p> Cincinnati hurler Ken Ash throws one pitch in relief against the Chicago Cubs but got credit for a full inning pitched and a victory. Ash relieved in the sixth inning with two Cubs on base and nobody out, and promptly induced Charlie Grimm to ground into a triple play. All outs on tags. Ash was lifted the next inning for a PH, and the Reds scored 4 times, giving him the 6-5 win, his last ML win</p>
