Count (baseball)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with pitch count.
In baseball and softball, the count refers to the number of balls and strikes a batter has in their current plate appearance. If the count reaches three strikes, the batter strikes out; if the count reaches four balls, the batter earns a base on balls (a "walk").[lower-alpha 1]
