If a pitcher gets pulled with one out in that inning why is it counted as .1 of an inning?
Question:I was only into baseball as a kid and i'm back into it again, but i never paid attention to stats back then and i don't understand this.
If 3 outs is a complete inning for a pitcher why isn't it counted as IP.33 for one out and IP.66 for 2 outs? It doesn't even seem that they take balls or strikes into account--they just use either .1 or .2.

Baseball is weird. One out is counted as .1 or 1/3 of an inning. Two outs is counted as .2 or 2/3 of an inning. A full inning would be equivilent to .3 which would be the same as 1. Baseball uses a base 3 system to calculate innings instead of a base 10 system like we use everyday.It's automatically considered as thirds.

.1 = 1 out.2 = 2 outs
balls and strikes do not matter when scoring how many innings a pitcher pitches, just outs.
Has there ever been a doubleheader in baseball between 3 teams?
Just for simplicity. 0.1 is 1 out. 4.2 is 4 innings two outs. It's just the way things are. Baseball has a lot of odd things like that.Its 1/3. Its just easier to say .1
it really means 1/3 one of the three outs in an inning. its easier to print.1 than 1/3

It is counted as a 3rd of an inning not .1.Can somebody explain to me how to do a criss cross tape job on a baseball bat?
I have never seen the stats written that way. I always saw for example (3 1/3 innings if the pitcher pitched 3 innings and was taken out during the 4th with only one out. 3 2/3 innings if the pitcher pitched 3 innings and was taken out when he had two outs.) What counts is the number of outs, not how many strikes, balls, walks, or hits were given up.When will Yankees injured players return?
Because innings pitched are in base 3 (math).How many chamionships have the yankees won?
Mainly because, back in the Olde Dayes, it was very hard to set a fraction like "1/3" in agate type, those teeny-tiny little numbers seen in newspapers, particularly in the box scores or stock market pages.Each out counts as one-third of an inning. Standard baseball statistical nomenclature reports one third or two thirds as .1 or .2 respectively. Think that innings pitched are reported as decimal (base ten) to the left of the point (whole innings) and trinary (base three) to the right. Remember to convert in your head or in the spreadsheet and the math will come out right.
