No. Since the fielder's choice is a force out, the batter doesn't get credit for a hit even if he is safe, nor does the pitcher get a hit counted against him.

Does a fielder's choice count as an out?
I AM A COLLEGE BASEBALL PLAYER ALL INFORMATION HERE IS 100% TRUE. A fielders choice does not count as a hit for the batter even though the batter reaches base safely. It counts as an out for the hitters batting average but RBI's, runs scored, stolen bases and any other effects of the batter reaching base safely count. In essence a fielders choice counts as an out because the fielder could have chose to get the batter out or another runner which means there was an out on the play. Also, you cannot assume a double play even if the ball hit was the easiest 4-6-3 which the fielders made an error on.

What is h 11 in baseball?
um.. it depends. "h" can mean two different things. it can mean that a batter has 11 hits, which means that a player hit the ball and reached base with out being tagged out, thrown out, or reaching on a fielders choice. if the "h" is reffering to a pitcher, it means the pitcher has 11 holds, which is where the game is close, a relief pitcher can come in and "hold" the game by not giving up a run so that the closer can pitch and "save the game. I hope this answers you question.
