Question 432992: A baseball manager is determining the batting order for the team. The team has 9 players, but the manager definitely wants the pitcher to bat last. how many batting orders are possible??

Since the pitcher bats last, there is only one choice for the 9th slot. For the 1st slot, there are 8 choices remaining. For the 2nd slot, there are 7 choices remaining, etc.
So the number of possible batting orders is:
8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1*1 = 8! = 40,320
