OK, I asked what is the maximum number of legal pitches one batter can take before recording an out, walk or hit? This includes balls and strikes, forget the foul balls.
Here's the answer:
There are two outs. There's a man on first, and the count is three balls, one strike. The pitcher throws a strike and the man at first attempts to steal second, and gets thrown out.
The batter has a count of 3-2 (5 pitches), but the side is retired. He comes up as the first batter in the next inning, so he can take another full count and then can strike out or take a base on balls for 6 pitches. That's 11 total.
