1 pitcher every inning
In a highschool game the home team pitcher pitches the first inning and at the bottom of the first the score is 1 to 0 homes favor. Then the home team coach has a new pitcher pitch 1 inning each until the end of the game
(7 innings 7 pitchers) the game ends 1 to 0 home wins, which pitcher gets the win? |

FED 9-6-b-2: If the starting pitcher is removed before having pitched four or more innings and his team is ahead, the official scorer shall determine the winning pitcher to be the relief pitcher who has been the most effective.
So there's no clear cut answer in your scenario, except, according to the rule, it will not go to the starting pitcher.

sixlehs,
The relief pitcher who, in the official scorer's sole judgement, did the best job of pitching to maintain the lead. The only one who can't get the win is the starter. JM

Each reliever came in with a 1 run lead and left with a 1 run lead. Which pitched the best to keep the lead? If one struck out the side and another walked a batter with 2 out but struck out the side otherwise, the one that struck out the side with no walks wins?
What if the starter struck out the side in his turn and all the other relievers had at least one base runner. Starter is excluded as a potential winner? |

Being a fill-in scorekeeper, I think that if every pitcher was exactly or nearly exactly the same, the 1st relief pitcher would be the guy I would give the win to. But this one is not an easy one... normally in a weird sitch like this, SOMEONE pitches 3-4 innings or so, and is the obvious deserver of the win.
All that is sure here is ... it can't be the starter, and it is very unlikely to be the last pitcher. How many high schools out there have 9 pitchers capable of shutting down the opponent?

I stand corrected. Nice catch. UmpDuck, No. Under FED rules, the starting pitcher must pitch at least 4 innings to be credited with the win. Since the "go ahead" run was scored while the starting pitcher was the pitcher of record, and he only pitched one inning, he cannot be credited with the win. JM
