What else can I help you with?
If you hit into a force out does it count as a hit?
No, a force does not count as a hit and the batter's average will go down.
When a batter is hit by a pitch is it calculated in On base percentage?
Yes, but it will not effect his batting average
If a foul hit is caught then the batter is out?
Yes. If a foul ball is caught by a defensive player before it hits the ground the batter is out.
In which game batter is allowed 3 strikes before he is out?
There is no limit to the number of fouls a batter can hit.
There are runners on first and second and a line drive is hit to the left fielder who makes the throw to third to get the force out Does the batter get awarded a base hit or is it a fielder's choice?
A batter is never awarded a base hit when a runner is forced out, regardless of where the ball is hit.
Does a fielder's error go down as a hit officially?
No. If a player reaches base due to a fielder's error, the batter does not receive credit for a hit, but does get credit for an at-bat. Therefore, the batter's average will descend, but the batter's on-base percentage will increase.
If a pitched ball hits the ground first then strikes a player is the call a ball or a walk?
it is a hit by pitch (or a walk).Clarification:The answer above makes it seem a HBP and a Walk are the same -- they are not.. they are scored different and effect stats different. If the umpire calls it ball 4 and says it never hit the batter the ball is still in play and the batter gets a Walk -- If the umpire determines the ball hit the batter, the batter gets a HBP (hit-By Pitch) and it is a dead ball --- runners advance their one base but cannot advance furtherIn your question -- even though the ball hit the dirt, once it strikes the batter (assuming the batter never swung), this is a Hit-By-Pitch
The Pitcher throws towards home plate. the ball bounces in the dirt before home plate and it hits the batter is it a dead ball or hit batter?
It is a dead ball and the batter is awarded first base and is ruled a hit by pitch

What happens when a batter achieves a double hit in baseball?
When a batter achieves a double hit in baseball, they successfully hit the ball and reach second base safely before the defense can make a play. This allows the batter to advance two bases and increases the team's chances of scoring runs.
Do errors count against your batting average?
If a fielder commits an error on the ball that you hit, you would not receive an at bat (just like getting a walk).errors in baseballNo, errors do nothing to your batting average. Huh?That would depend on the play and situation. If the play was ruled a straight error, like grounding to the shortstop and the shortstop makes a wild throw to first, the batter is charged with an at bat but no base hit. The batter's average would go down. But if the batter gets a base hit to right field and the right fielder boots the ball and the batter makes it to third base, the batter would be credited with a hit and the outfielder would be credited with an error. In that case, the batter's average would go up.
What happens if a batter gets hit by a?
