Yes. In fact, you can get up to 6 outs. Innings are in two parts, one half for each team to either defend or offend the plate. Now, if you are asking whether or not one team or the other can get 4 outs in an inning, no. You get three outs, and the other team goes to the plate.

The fourth one wouldn't count, but I suppose that you could have a double play on the third out, which, technicaly would make four. Like a pop fly that is caught and then the second baseman tagging the bag right after he catches it, to get the runner from first 'out.' Normally they are paying attention (after all it is their job) and after that thrid out is achived the players bring it in.
-
yes if the umpire is Don Denkinger.

Didn't you already ask this question? No. Not even in Major League. The rules in baseball are pretty much universal. Each side is allowed only 3 outs per inning.
-
I think technically you could, lets say you have 2 outs and get a double play..
-
Absolutely. For example, bases loaded, two outs. Batter hits a double, runners originally on second and third score but the runner originally on first is thrown out at third base. In this case, it would be a timing play as to whether the runs would could. Did the runners touch home plate before the third out of the innings was called on the runner at third base? However, once the play was over the defense appeals that the batter missed first base on his run to second and the umpire agrees. That would make four outs in the inning but by making the appeal at first it causes the last out of the inning to be a force so no runs would score.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned if the catcher misses the ball on a swinging third strike and the batter runs it out to first. That counts as a strike out for the pitcher but then runner is still on. So I guess that would make for four outs in the inning or even more if the pitcher was real wild.
-
Yes, you can can get 4 outs in an inning. Here's how. Situation: 2 outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd. Batter hits a grounder to third. The third basemen tags the runner going from 2nd to 3rd. The home plate umpire rules the runner from 3rd crosses home before the tag is made, therefore the run would count since the tag play is not a force out. Being the quick thinker, the third basemen notices the batter just jogging and then stopping after the tag was made, fires to the first getting the fourth out on the batter, therefore nullifying the run.

That depends, if you mean in one half inning, than no, but if you mean in one full inning than you can get uo to six. for example if someone turns a triple play in the top of the eighth than the inning is over the other out couldn't be played because the player would be running into his bullpen., if you ran up to him and tagged him, nothing would happen, unless you count looking like and idiot because you just tagges someone with three outs. otherwise in the other inning, if you count that, the time that you get three outs will equal up to six.
-
You can't get 4 outs in an inning but a pitcher can strike out 4 batters in an inning and for that matter he could strike out 5 too. Maybe even more depending on how inept his defense is.
-
Obviously, since it's required to get 6 to retire the side.
-
yes it is possible to get 4 outs in a "half" inning of baseballl...ok score is 0-0 with one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd...fly ball, both runners run home making the score 2-0(without tagging) but the ball is caught (2outs). then the defender tags 2nd base (3 outs). but the runner that was on third base still scores unless the defender also tags 3rd base (4 OUTS)
-
yes but it wont rollover to the next inning, its like a warmup before the inning starts...
-
Isn't it possible to get 6 outs in one inning? In fact don't you need 6 to move on to the next inning? 3 for each team.
