New Var time record

[Ump29]

You would need 9 pitches (all strikes ) to record a NINE pitch half inning.
BTW I have had several 3 pitch half innings (no strikes).

How so?

Batter 1 sees four pitches, grounds out on the fourth pitch.

Batter 2 sees three pitches, flies out on the third pitch.

Batter 3 sees two pitches, grounds out on the second pitch.

9 pitches.

He didn't mention that any of the outs were strike outs............

1:15 on bases, 7 innings full, Varsity.

1:18 on plate, 6-1/2 innings, Varsity.

Maybe if I were an agnostic, I'd have better times!





Just kidding, TimC!

I would agree w/ most posters on here in the fact that on average a 7 inning game should last between 1:20 and 1:40. If you finish one in an hour...that's fast...and of course we have the multiple error, long count, base runners every inning, 14-13 game that touches three hours. We take the good with the bad.
