Best Answer

The pitcher is credited with a fraction that represents how many outs there were in the inning when they are relieved. If the pitcher is relieved is one out, they are credited woth 1/3 (one-third) of an inning. If the pitcher is relieved with two outs, they are credited with 2/3 (two-thirds) of an inning.

A pitcher who starts the game and is relieved with one out in the seventh inning is credited with 6 1/3 innings pitched ... if relieved with two outs in the seventh inning is credited with 6 2/3 innings pitched. ... if relieved with no outs in the seventh inning is credited with 6 innings pitched.

If a pitcher faces home plate through what angle does he need to turn to face first base?

If the pitcher is not on the pitcher's plate, he can turn as far as he wants to look at the runner on first base. If the pitcher is on the pitcher's plate, and his shoulder turns more than 45 degrees toward first base (halfway between home and first), it is generally interpreted to be a pick-off attempt.
