Balls, Strikes, and Strikeouts


Every time a batter faces a pitcher, the count begins at zero balls and zero strikes. A strike is called when the batter swings and misses or does not swing at a pitch that passes through the strike zone. A ball is called when the pitch is outside the strike zone and the batter does not swing.

If a batter receives four balls, they earn a walk and go to first base. If the batter gets three strikes, they are out. Understanding balls and strikes is one of the most important parts of baseball.
