In baseball , the pitcher is the player who throws the baseball from the pitcher 's mound toward the catcher to begin each play , with the goal of retiring a batter , who attempts to either make contact with the pitched ball or draw a walk . In the numbering system used to record defensive plays , the pitcher is assigned the number 1 . The pitcher is often considered the most important player on the defensive side of the game , and as such is situated at the right end of the defensive spectrum . There are many different types of pitchers , such as the starting pitcher , relief pitcher , middle reliever , lefty specialist , setup man , and the closer . Traditionally , the pitcher also bats . Starting in 1973 with the American League and spreading to further leagues throughout the 1980s and 1990s , the hitting duties of the pitcher have generally been given over to the position of designated hitter , a cause of some controversy . The National League in Major League Baseball and the Japanese Central League are among the remaining leagues that have not adopted the designated hitter position .
Gary Edward Gentry ( born October 6 , 1946 in Phoenix , Arizona ) , is a former right-handed Major League Baseball pitcher .
The Arizona State Sun Devils baseball program at the Arizona State University ( ASU ) is part of the Pac-12 Conference . Since it became a member of the Pac-12 , it had the highest winning percentage , at .681 , of all schools that participate in Division I baseball within the conference . ASU 's NCAA leading 54 consecutive 30 win seasons was the longest streak in the nation . The Sun Devils ' only losing seasons occurred in 1963 , 2017 , & 2018 The Sun Devils had been nationally ranked during at least a part of every season of their 58-year history until 2017 . The Sun Devils have finished 27 times in the Top 10 , 22 times in the Top 5 , and 5 times as the No . 1 team in the nation . ASU is one of the most successful college baseball programs in the country . The Sun Devils have won five national championships , the fourth-most by any school , and are 1st in total number of alumni to ever play in Major League Baseball . Notable Sun Devil baseball alumni include Barry Bonds , Reggie Jackson , Sal Bando , Dustin Pedroia , Andre Ethier , Bob Horner , Paul Lo Duca , and Rick Monday .
In baseball or softball , a strikeout ( or strike-out ) occurs when a batter racks up three strikes during a time at bat . It usually means the batter is out . A strikeout is a statistic recorded for both pitchers and batters , and is denoted by K. A strikeout looking - in which the batter does not swing and the third strike is called by the umpire - is usually denoted by a ꓘ . Although a strikeout suggests that the pitcher dominated the batter , the free-swinging style that generates home runs also leaves batters susceptible to striking out . Some of the greatest home run hitters of all time - such as Alex Rodriguez , Reggie Jackson , and Jim Thome - were notorious for striking out .
Q. V. Lowe ( born January 15 , 1945 ) is a retired American baseball coach . From 1987-2014 , he was the men 's varsity baseball coach of Auburn Montgomery ( also known as Auburn University Montgomery , or AUM ) - where he established the baseball program and served for 28 consecutive seasons ; he compiled a win-loss record of 1,242-689-5 ( .643 ) . He also is a former pitcher , coach and manager in minor league baseball and in 1972 , at age 27 , spent a season as a full-time coach for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball , working under managers Leo Durocher and Whitey Lockman . Lowe was born at Red Level , Alabama . He grew up in Ocala , Florida , attended Gulf Coast Community College and graduated from Auburn University . A right-handed pitcher ( and hitter ) , he was listed at 6 ft 1 in ( 1.85 m ) tall and 185 lb ( 84 kg ) during his playing career . In two seasons at Auburn , he won 23 of 26 decisions ( .885 ) and set an Auburn Tigers record for career earned-run average ( 1.69 ) and most complete games ( ten ) in one season . He was selected in the 19th round of the 1967 Major League Baseball draft by the Cubs and compiled a won/lost mark of 24-25 with an ERA of 3.37 in 167 games over five minor-league seasons ( 1967-71 ) , most of them at the Double-A level . During his final two seasons , he was a player-coach for the San Antonio Missions of the Texas League . In 1972 , Lowe joined the Cubs ' coaching staff , serving as bullpen coach . The midyear managerial change , in which Lockman replaced Durocher , resulted in changes on the Cubs ' 1973 MLB staff , and Lowe returned to the minor leagues as manager of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast Cubs ( 1973 ) and the Class A Key West Conchs ( for the second half of the 1974 season ) . Lowe then coached in the New York Yankees ' farm system , and also became baseball coach , and eventually athletic director , of Lurleen B. Wallace Community College between 1975-81 .
The Auburn Tigers baseball team represents Auburn University in NCAA Division I college baseball . Along with most other Auburn athletic teams , the baseball team participates in the Western division of the Southeastern Conference . The Tigers play their home games on campus at Plainsman Park , and they are coached by Butch Thompson .
In baseball statistics , hits per nine innings ( denoted by H/9 ) is the average number of hits allowed by a pitcher in a nine inning period ; calculated as : ( hits allowed x 9 ) / innings pitched . This is a measure of a pitcher 's success based on the number of all outs he records . Compared to a pitcher 's batting average against , a pitcher 's H/9 benefits from sacrifice bunts , double plays , runners caught stealing , and outfield assists , but it is hurt by some errors . Unlike batting average against , a pitcher 's H/9 benefits from outs that are not related to official at bats , as they are recorded on runners after they have reached base . Through 2019 Nolan Ryan is the career leader , at 6.5553 , while Clayton Kershaw is # 2 ( 6.7856 ) , and Sandy Koufax is # 3 ( 6.7916 ) .
Catcher is a position for a baseball or softball player . When a batter takes his/her turn to hit , the catcher crouches behind home plate , in front of the ( home ) umpire , and receives the ball from the pitcher . In addition to this primary duty , the catcher is also called upon to master many other skills in order to field the position well . The role of the catcher is similar to that of the wicket-keeper in cricket , but in cricket , wicketkeepers are increasingly known for their batting abilities . Positioned behind home plate , the catcher can see the whole field , and is therefore in the best position to direct and lead the other players in a defensive play . The catcher typically calls for pitches using hand signals . The calls are based on the pitcher 's mechanics and strengths , as well as the batter 's tendencies and weaknesses . Foul tips , bouncing balls in the dirt , and contact with runners during plays at the plate are all events to be handled by the catcher , necessitating the use of protective equipment . This includes a mask , chest and throat protectors , shin guards , and a heavily padded catcher 's mitt . Because the position requires a comprehensive understanding of the game 's strategies , the pool of former catchers yields a disproportionate number of managers in both Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball , including such prominent examples as Connie Mack , Steve O'Neill , Al López , Mike Scioscia , and Joe Torre . The physical and mental demands of being involved on every defensive play can wear catchers down over a long season , and can have a negative effect on their offensive output . Because of the strategic defensive importance of catching , if a catcher has exceptional defensive skills , teams are often willing to overlook their relative offensive weaknesses .
Oklahoma State Cowboys baseball is the NCAA Division I varsity intercollegiate baseball team of Oklahoma State University , based in Stillwater , Oklahoma , United States . The team competes in the Big 12 Conference . Oklahoma State is widely regarded as one of the most successful and history rich baseball programs of all time .

The Cowboys have also earned 46 NCAA Tournament bids and have played in 20 College World Series , including seven straight from 1981-87 , with their lone national championship coming in 1959 . The Cowboys ' current head coach is Josh Holliday .
First base , or 1B , is the first of four stations on a baseball diamond which must be touched in succession by a baserunner to score a run for that player 's team . A first baseman is the player on the team playing defense who fields the area nearest first base , and is responsible for the majority of plays made at that base . In the numbering system used to record defensive plays , the first baseman is assigned the number 3 . Also called first sacker or cornerman , the first baseman is ideally a tall player who throws left-handed and possesses good flexibility and quick reflexes . Flexibility is needed because the first baseman receives throws from the other infielders , the catcher and the pitcher after they have fielded ground balls . In order for the runner to be called out , the first baseman must be able to stretch towards the throw and catch it before the runner reaches first base . First base is often referred to as the other hot corner - the hot corner being third base - and therefore , like the third baseman , he must have quick reflexes to field the hardest hit balls down the foul line , mainly by left-handed pull hitters and right-handed hitters hitting to the opposite field . They often are power hitters who have a substantial number of home runs and extra base hits while maintaining a .270 plus batting average . [ citation needed ]
Mark Edward Marquess ( born March 24 , 1947 ) is an American college baseball coach . He served as the head coach of the Stanford Cardinal baseball team from 1977 to 2017 .
The Stanford Cardinal baseball team represents Stanford University in NCAA Division I college baseball .

The 1987 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament was played at the end of the 1987 NCAA Division I baseball season to determine the national champion of college baseball . The tournament concluded with eight teams competing in the College World Series , a double-elimination tournament in its forty first year . Eight regional competitions were held to determine the participants in the final event . Each region was composed of six teams , resulting in 48 teams participating in the tournament at the conclusion of their regular season , and in some cases , after a conference tournament . The forty-first tournament 's champion was Stanford , coached by Mark Marquess . The Most Outstanding Player was Paul Carey of Stanford .
The 1988 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament was played at the end of the 1988 NCAA Division I baseball season to determine the national champion of college baseball . The tournament concluded with eight teams competing in the College World Series , a double-elimination tournament in its forty-second year . Eight regional competitions were held to determine the participants in the final event . Each region was composed of six teams , resulting in 48 teams participating in the tournament at the conclusion of their regular season , and in some cases , after a conference tournament . The forty-second tournament 's champion was Stanford coached by Mark Marquess . The Most Outstanding Player was Lee Plemel of Stanford .
In baseball and softball , second baseman is a fielding position in the infield , between second and first base . The second baseman often possesses quick hands and feet , needs the ability to get rid of the ball quickly , and must be able to make the pivot on a double play . In addition , second basemen are usually right-handed ; only four left-handed throwing players have ever played second base in Major League Baseball since 1950 . In the numbering system used to record defensive plays , the second baseman is assigned the number 4 . Good second basemen need to have very good range since they have to field balls closer to the first baseman who is often holding runners on , or moving towards the base to cover . On a batted ball to right field , the second baseman goes out towards the ball for the relay . Due to these requirements , second base is sometimes a primarily defensive position in the modern game , but there are hitting stars as well .
The Clemson Tigers baseball team represents Clemson University in NCAA Division I college baseball . The team participates in the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference . The Tigers are currently coached by head coach Monte Lee and play their home games in Doug Kingsmore Stadium . The program has reached the NCAA Tournament in all but one season dating back to 1987 . Clemson has made twelve appearances in the College World Series with an all-time record of 12-24 in Omaha . The team has a heated in-state rivalry with the University of South Carolina . Mark Etheridge of SEBaseball.com has called it college baseball 's most heated rivalry , and Aaron Fitt of Baseball America has called it far and away the most compelling rivalry college baseball has to offer . As of the end of the 2017 regular season series , Clemson leads the all-time series 176-137-2 . Clemson won the 2017 series 2-1 with wins in Greenville , South Carolina and Columbia , South Carolina . The Tigers beat South Carolina 8-7 at Fluor Field and 5-3 in 11 innings at Founders Park .
A third baseman , abbreviated 3B , is the player in baseball whose responsibility is to defend the area nearest to third base - the third of four bases a baserunner must touch in succession to score a run . In the scoring system used to record defensive plays , the third baseman is assigned the number ' 5 ' . The third baseman requires good reflexes in reacting to batted balls , as he is often the closest infielder ( roughly 90-120 feet ) to the batter . The third base position requires a strong and accurate arm , as the third baseman often makes long throws to first base . The third baseman sometimes must throw quickly to second base in time to start a double play . The third baseman must also field fly balls in fair and foul territory . Third base is known as the hot corner , because the third baseman is relatively close to the batter and most right-handed hitters tend to hit the ball hard in this direction . A third baseman must possess good hand-eye coordination and quick reactions in order to catch hard line drives sometimes in excess of 125 miles per hour ( 201 km/h ) . Third basemen often must begin in a position even closer to the batter if a bunt is expected , creating a hazard if the ball is instead hit sharply . As with middle infielders , right-handed throwing players are standard at the position because they do not need to turn their body before throwing across the infield to first base . Mike Squires , who played fourteen games at third base in 1982 and 1983 , is a very rare example of a third baseman who threw lefty . Some third basemen have been converted from middle infielders or outfielders because the position does not require them to run as fast .
The Temple Owls are the athletic teams that represent Temple University in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . The school 's sports teams are called the Owls . The current athletic director is Patrick Kraft . The owl has been the symbol and mascot for Temple University since its founding in the 1880s . Temple was the first school in the United States to adopt the owl as its symbol or mascot . The owl , a nocturnal hunter , was initially adopted as a symbol because Temple University began as a night school for young people of limited means . Russell Conwell , Temple 's founder , encouraged these students with the remark : The owl of the night makes the eagle of the day .
Shortstop , abbreviated SS , is the baseball or softball fielding position between second and third base , which is considered to be among the most demanding defensive positions . Historically the position was assigned to defensive specialists who were typically poor at batting and were often placed at the bottom of the batting order . Today shortstops are often able to hit well and many are placed at the top of the lineup . In the numbering system used by scorers to record defensive plays , the shortstop is assigned the number 6 . More hit balls go to the shortstop than to any other position , as there are more right-handed hitters in baseball than left-handed hitters , and most hitters have a tendency to pull the ball slightly . Like a second baseman , a shortstop must be agile , for example when performing a 4-6-3 double play . Also , like a third baseman , the shortstop fields balls hit to the left side of the infield , where a strong arm is needed to throw out a batter-runner before they reach the safety of first base .
Eduardo Antonio Leon ( born August 11 , 1946 ) is a former Major League Baseball infielder of Mexican American descent , who played for eight seasons , splitting time as a shortstop and second baseman . He played for the Cleveland Indians from 1968 to 1972 , the Chicago White Sox in 1973 and 1974 , and the New York Yankees in 1975 until being released on May 5 of that year .
The Arizona Wildcats baseball team is the intercollegiate men 's baseball program representing the University of Arizona in Tucson , Arizona , United States . They compete in the Pac-12 Conference ( Pac-12 ) of NCAA Division I . The baseball team had its first season in 1904 . The baseball team has captured four national championship titles in 1976 , 1980 , 1986 and 2012 , with the first three coached by Jerry Kindall and the most recent by Andy Lopez . The team has appeared in the NCAA National Championship title series eight times ( 1956 , 1959 , 1963 , 1976 , 1980 , 1986 , 2012 , and 2016 ) . They have appeared in 34 baseball tournaments in their rich history . Arizona is ranked seventh in all-time regular season game wins with 2,347 .
In baseball , a triple is the act of a batter safely reaching third base after hitting the ball , with neither the benefit of a fielder 's misplay ( see error ) nor another runner being put out on a fielder 's choice . A triple is sometimes called a three-bagger or three-base hit . For statistical and scorekeeping purposes it is denoted by 3B . Triples have become somewhat rare in Major League Baseball . It often requires a ball hit to a distant part of the field , or the ball taking an unusual bounce in the outfield . It also usually requires that the batter hit the ball solidly , and be a speedy runner . It also often requires that the batter 's team have a good strategic reason for wanting the batter on third base , as a double will already put the batter in scoring position and there will often be little strategic advantage to taking the risk of trying to stretch a double into a triple . ( The inside-the-park home run is much rarer than a triple ) . The trend for modern ballparks is to have smaller outfields ( often increasing the number of home runs ) ; it has ensured that the career and season triples leaders mostly consist of those who played early in Major League Baseball history , generally in the dead-ball era . A walk-off triple ( one that ends a game ) occurs very infrequently . For example , the 2016 MLB season saw only three walk-off triples , excluding one play that was actually a triple plus an error .
An outfielder is a person playing in one of the three defensive positions in baseball or softball , farthest from the batter . These defenders are the left fielder , the center fielder , and the right fielder . As an outfielder , their duty is to catch fly balls and/ ground balls then to return them to the infield for the out or before the runner advances , if there is any runners on the bases . As an outfielder , they normally play behind the six players located in the field . By convention , each of the nine defensive positions in baseball is numbered . The outfield positions are 7 ( left field ) , 8 ( center field ) and 9 ( right field ) . These numbers are shorthand designations useful in baseball scorekeeping and are not necessarily the same as the squad numbers worn on player uniforms . Outfielders named to the MLB All-Century Team are Hank Aaron , Ty Cobb , Joe DiMaggio , Mickey Mantle , Willie Mays , Stan Musial , Pete Rose , Babe Ruth , Ted Williams and Ken Griffey Jr .
Scott Donald Reid ( born January 7 , 1947 ) is a retired American professional baseball player . The outfielder appeared in 38 Major League Baseball games for the Philadelphia Phillies during parts of the 1969 and 1970 seasons . He batted left-handed , threw right-handed , stood 6 feet 1 inch ( 1.85 m ) tall and weighed 195 pounds ( 88 kg ) . Born in Chicago , Reid attended California 's Cerritos College as well as Arizona State University . Including the then-in-existence secondary phase and January drafts , he was selected four times during the first three years of the MLB amateur draft , 1965 through 1967 , including twice by the New York Mets . Finally , after the fourth time when the Phillies took him in the second round of the secondary phase of the 1967 Major League Baseball Draft , he signed a contract and entered pro ball . In three separate trials with Philadelphia , Reid served as a pinch hitter and started 15 games in the outfield , 14 of them as a center fielder . He collected ten hits , including one double , and scored ten runs . He batted .147 with one run batted in . His seven-year career concluded in 1973 .
Thomas Marian Paciorek ( /pəˈtʃɔːrɛk/ pə-CHOR-ek ; born November 2 , 1946 ) is a former outfielder and first baseman who spent 18 seasons in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) with the Los Angeles Dodgers ( 1970-1975 ) , Atlanta Braves ( 1976-1978 ) , Seattle Mariners ( 1978-1981 ) , Chicago White Sox ( 1982-1985 ) , New York Mets ( 1985 ) and Texas Rangers ( 1986-1987 ) . He appeared twice in the postseason , with the National League ( NL ) Champion Dodgers in 1974 and the American League ( AL ) West-winning White Sox in 1983 . Following his retirement as an active player , he worked as a color commentator for various MLB clubs , most notably the White Sox where he was teamed with Ken Harrelson on telecasts throughout the 1990s . Paciorek is famously known by the nickname Wimpy , which was given to him by Tom Lasorda after a dinner with minor league teammates in which he was the only one to order a hamburger instead of steak .

The 1981 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 52nd playing of the midsummer classic between the all-stars of the American League ( AL ) and National League ( NL ) , the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball . The game was held on August 9 , 1981 , at Cleveland Stadium in Cleveland , Ohio , the home of the Cleveland Indians of the American League . This was one of only two All-Star Games to be played outside the month of July ( the other being the second 1959 game ) . The game was originally to be played on July 14 , but was cancelled due to the players ' strike lasting from June 12 to July 31 . It was then brought back as a prelude to the second half of the season , which began the following day . At 72,086 people in attendance , it broke the stadium 's own record of 69,751 set in 1954 , setting the still-standing record for the highest attendance in an All Star Game . Cleveland Stadium set a new All-Star Game record by hosting its fourth ( and ultimately , final ) Midsummer Classic . By the time Indians played host to the All-Star Game for the fifth time in 1997 , they had moved to Jacobs Field .
