How many player play baseball?
97031
In the majors, each team has 25 players on the active roster.  25 players x 30 teams = 750 active players at any time during the season.  Beyond that, it gets trickier to figure out, since the minor league rosters fluctuate a bit as players get signed, injured, or retire.

12. Most recently done by Mark Whiten in 1993. He also hit 4 homers in that game.\n\nWho had 18? I would like to see it. I looked this up in a baseball record book.

There are at least two players who played both pitcher and catcher in the same GAME.\n\nBoth Cesar Tovar and Bert Campinaris played all nine positions in the same game (both in the mid-late 60s). I believe these are the only two players ever to do this.\n\nThere are probably a few catchers that took a turn on the mound at some point in their careers, particularly old time players... It seems to me that Hall of Fame catcher Roger Bresnahan might have pitched a few games here and there (Bresnahan really wasn't a HOF caliber player, but was elected to the HOF right after he died, in the mid-1940s)\n\nNo one has ever made a career of playing both positions, of course.  But it was not unusual for position players around the turn of the (20th) century to take the mound, even if just for an inning or two here and there.\n\nThese days, catching is such a specialized defensive position, that no player from another position can adequately substitute defensively for a catcher. At the major league level, you're either a catcher or you're not. \n\nBut if you check the records of catchers who had fairly long careers in the early 20th century, you'll probably find that a few of them did pitch at some point in their careers, at least a little bit.

Why does everyone care so much?  I'm getting tired of hearing and watching and reading Bonds, Bonds, Bonds.   Let's not forget that at 30 teams at a 25 man roster, minus Bonds there are 749 other people playing MLB.  Just once,\n can we focus on the good things?

There are no guaranteed number of games against other teams in MLB, but here is how it roughly breaks down:\n\n(a) 74 gm against own division\n(b) 70 gm COMBINED against other two divisions\n(c) 18 interleague games\n--------------------------\n    162 games in total

if it's on yahoo, a player must start 5 games at the position, or play in 10 games at that position.  pitchers must have 3 starts or 5 relief appearances.

Not counting rooks, the active players with the most at bats and no HR are Curt Schilling, Jon Lieber, Luis Ordaz, Brett Tomko, Pedro Martinez, and Matt Clement.\n\nThere are a ton of rookies and callups who are active with no HR - a little too many to name. \n\nOdd that this was just in a Jayson Stark column....

I only have eight myself, but I know a few people who have at least 15. They have played a lot of leagues, even in a short amount of years, but in various sports.

Zim calculated how many balls would be used in 162 games. But there are more than 162 total games played in a major league season. \n\nThere are 2430 games played in one major league season. Using Zim's other calculation, 45 balls used on average per game would amount to 109,350 total balls used in one season by the MLB. \n\nTo add some extra fun, if you take the cost of an official major league baseball, which is around $9, and multiply it by 109,350 baseballs, you get $984,150 spent by the MLB each season on baseballs alone. However, it's almost certain that the MLB receives a significant discount on each ball. I would guess they pay around $3-5 per baseball. But even if they pay the full $9 per ball, $984,150 is pocket change for the MLB. The average major league player makes more than twice that amount.

The Major League Baseball season has been 162 games long for each team since 1961 (American League) and 1962 (National League). For the four-plus decades prior, the standard season length was 154 games. This page is about the evolution of the season schedule since Major League Baseball began.

nothing over 50. if you figger they would throw 9 per inning and theres 6 innings. thats 54 pitches.but it depends on how good they are.

If you look at the lineup on the field, there's 11 players on the field for each side.  However, if you add both the offensive starters and the defensive starters, that's 22 players total.  But then you have to factor in their backups, in case of injury, suspensions, etc., etc.\n\nSo it states that NFL teams can have and usually DO have up to 53 players on their side.  That's a lotta people!

Ten to twelve dozen balls are delivered to the umpires by the home team prior to each game.\n\nBefore the game, the sheen is rubbed off the balls with a special mud MLB purchases. These balls are to be used for the game.\n\nIt's not unusual for 100+ of these balls to be used in the game.\n\nHere is a quote from the link shown in "source"\n"on a velvety cool Friday evening at PNC Park, the Pirates and Brewers used 104 balls, which is about 15 fewer than in a typical home game, according to Pirates equipment manager Roger Wilson."

Depends...in the big leagues, there are probably 20 to 25 guys that do...but there are many more in the minors, college, and even HS.  \n\nThere is no real way to tell...as most radar guns are not accurate that you see on T.V.\n\nSo, to answer your question, there is no good way to estimate it, as you would have to have access to scouting reports to find the actual #.

I read somewhere that between 4 and 5 dozen balls are used in a Major League Game.  ie 48 - 60 balls

there are ten field players plus one goalkeeper so 11 total\nthere can be 18 on an active roster (sustitutions), and a total of 25 players on a roster which includes the starters, substitutions, and reserve players
