If no errors and no passed balls occur during the inning, all runs scored are automatically earned ( assigned responsible to the pitcher ).

If the pitcher allows no runners to reach base, the no-hitter is a perfect game.

If he begins to run too soon, the pitcher may throw to a base rather than to home — in this case, the runner is picked off, and will most likely be tagged out.

If the pitcher were to move at an angle but with the same speed, the variation of the frequency at which the receiver would catch the ball would be less as the distance between the two would change more slowly.

If a player is listed in the starting lineup as the team's pitcher, but is replaced before facing an opposing batter, the player is credited with a game pitched but not a game started ; there have been instances in major league history in which a starting pitcher was removed before his first pitch due to an injury, perhaps suffered while batting or running the bases during the top half of the first inning.

If a pitching substitution occurs while a runner is on base, and that runner eventually scores a run, the pitcher who allowed the player to get on base is charged with the run even though he was no longer pitching when the run scored.

If a pitcher allows a run which gives the opposing team the lead, his team comes back to lead or tie the game, and then the opposing team regains the lead against a subsequent pitcher, the earlier pitcher does not get the loss.

If a pitcher leaves the game with his team in the lead or with the score tied, but with the go-ahead run on base, and this runner subsequently scores the go-ahead run, the pitcher who allowed this runner to reach base is responsible for the loss.

If the relief pitching successfully completes the half-inning without surrendering the go-ahead run, the departed pitcher cannot receive a loss.

If the pitcher opts to bat for himself, he is treated as two separate positions — a pitcher and a designated hitter ( abbreviated P / DH on the lineup card ) — and may be substituted for as such ( i. e. if he is removed as the pitcher, he may remain as the designated hitter and vice versa ).

If the pitcher is moving to the right and the catcher is standing still, then the pitcher must aim behind the catcher.

If the pitcher is snapping his wrist as he throws, and the movement is more downward than sideways, then he is probably throwing a curveball or slurve, and not a true “ slider ”.

If sufficient backspin is put on the ball by the pitcher, the amount of drop over the same distance is reduced by about.
