What designates a complete game in baseball?

If the game is tied after 9 innings, and the pitcher is taken out, does he get credited with a complete game?What designates a complete game in baseball?It's a complete game when there is only one pitcher for a team in the games box score at the end of the game. That means the pitcher could throw 8 innings for a losing team, 9 innings for a winning team, less than 9 if the game is called early or more than 9 if the game goes to extra innings. The pitcher has to pitch for their team for the entire game.What designates a complete game in baseball?
Agreed ^^^What designates a complete game in baseball?No. A pitcher gets credited with a complete game when no other pitcher throws for his team. It doesn't matter if it's a full 9 innings, 8 innings in a loss, a rain-shortened 5 innings, or extra inning what - you have have to be the only pitcher to get a CG.
The game isn't completed until the tie is broken. The pitcher is credited with 9 innings and the label of not being able to get the other team's player out before said player could make the tying hit. Hope this helps!!!What designates a complete game in baseball?While the pitcher did a good job pitching a full 9 innings it still wouldn't count as a complete game if the game is tied after 9 innings.What designates a complete game in baseball?
No because he didn't complete the game. They went into extra innings and they called in a reliever. They still have the oppurtiunity for the win but none for the complete game
No....because once the new inning starts (after they hit) and a new pitcher is in he will get the chance for the W or the LWhat designates a complete game in baseball?
No. Since the game has not concluded, the pitcher does not get credit for a complete game.



A few years ago, Randy Johnson had given up no hits over 9 innings - but because the score was tied and the game went into extra innings, he didn't get credit for a complete game OR a no-hitter.
no
No, he does not get a complete game, if he does not complete the game.
A complete game means that a starting pitcher has gone the entire game until completion of the game whether it is won or lost. If a starter is taken out of the game at any point there is no chance of a complete game.
no the pitcher actually has to pitch the complete game to get a complete game, so just because a pitcher pitches 9 innings doesnt mean he get the complete game
The answer is no, as he others have said and for the reasons stated. On the flip side of the coin, however, if a game is called before 9 innings have been completed, but the game is official (at least 4.5 innings played and the home team ahead when the game is called) it is still considered a complete game if the pitcher of record is the only pitcher appearing in the game.
