Question

Is it possible for a single player to come to the plate every inning of a game and yet his/her team not score a run all night (earned or un-earnerd)?

Answer 1

No, because the most amount of players to get up in an inning without scoring is 6. That would happen when the inning ends with the bases loaded. 3 base runners, 3 outs. 6 batters.

The answer to your question is no.

Answer 2

Nooooooo!

Answer 3

Yes he could come to the plate every inning without his team scoring a run.  Let's use player A for example

1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th innings

A, B, C get on base, D, E, F, get out

2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th innings.

A leads off and gets a hit but G is declard out because A batted out of order, H and I also get out.

So A went to the plate in every inning although in 4 of the innings he was batting out of order.

Answer 4

No way.

Answer 5

There are some possible answers to this.

If the game was cut short.  Also if this is a trick question and the answer is the Catcher.  He comes to the plate every inning.  :P

A hitter can bat in two innings in a row without his team scoring a run, but not every inning.

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

Only if the player in question is the catcher, who comes to the plate in every inning and sits behind it.
