1 hit in 3 at bats. Walks don't count as at bats.
walks count as plate appearance but doesnt count as a time at bat
He had a total of 10,616 plate appearances, which counts walks, hit by pitches, etc., and he had 8,399 At-Bats, which don't count walks, hit by pitches, etc.

No, walks do not factor. They don't count as At Bats and therefore don't affect the batting average. For example: a player is at the plate 4 times; he gets walked twice and has one hit. The two walks don't count as At Bats. He therefore has 1 Hit in 2 AB which, of course, is a .500 BA.
Batting average in softball is the number of hits divided by the number of at bats. Walks are not calculated as at bats or hits, as well as hit by pitches. A reached on error counts as an at bat, but does not count as a hit.
Take total times reached base. That's all hits, walks and hit by pitch. Divide that number by the total times they came to the plate which includes at bats, walks, hit by pitch, and sacrifice.
if a guy walks 3 times in a game as his only at bats...is his hitting streak alive??
Jackie Robinson ended up getting 74 walks in 1947, 57 walks in 1948, 86 walks in 1949, 80 walks in 1950, 79 walks in 1951, 106 walks in 1952, 74 walks in 1953, 63 walks in 1954, 61 walks in 1955 and 60 walks in 1956 however 5 walks in 1955 were intentional walks and 2 walks in 1956 were intentional walks, he had a total of 740 walks in his career.
Fewest walks in a season is kind of a bad question because I'm sure there have been plenty of players who could have played 20 games and had zero walks in any given year (or something like that). However, the MLB record for fewest walks while still being eligible for the batting title was Shawon Dunston who had 8 in 490 at-bats in 1997.
Yes. While a sacrifice fly does not count against your batting average it does against your on base percentage. On base % = (hits + walks + hits by pitch) / (at-bats + walks + hits by pitch + sacrifice flies)
