Pitches per plate appearance

[brett]

Can anyone tell me on average how many pitches are thrown in a plate appearance resulting in a walk, if possible in a non-intentional walk.

And how many are thrown in a plate appearance resulting in a hit.

I get an average of 5.67 pit/PA for NIBBs in 2011, 5.64 since 2002.

I get an average of 3.38 pit/PA for Hits in 2011, 3.35 since 2002.

Assuming you mean BIPouts and not strikeouts I get an average of 3.37 pit/PA in 2011, and 3.33 since 2002.
