a swinging pitch in the dirt
In softball, the batter can be walked, strikeout, or they can get a hit. Walks are caused by the batter accumulating 4 balls. A ball is a pitch thrown outside of the strike zone. A strike is a pitch thrown inside the strike zone. A batter can get a strike by either swinging and missing the ball, or they can get a strike from not swinging at a strike within the strike zone.
If the batter was swinging it is a strike...if the batter was not swinging, then they are deemed to have been "hit by pitch" and are awarded first base.
The "K" is placed backwards in cases where the batter strikes out looking.
Looking is backwards. A looking strikeout is subjective to the home plate umpire that night. A swinging strikeout is objective. No doubt that he missed on that third strike; that's a K. K=swinging forward. Backwards K=looking backwards at the umpire and being K'ed
The workers threatened to go on strike if their demands were not met.
bunt : to strike or push with horns or head, same as "butt" It can also mean to hit a Baseball without swinging the bat, but I don't think that is what you're looking for!
no. because you have to swing for it to be a foul ball .its really a strike
They hang ks upside down in baseball to show that the batter was struck out without swinging the bat
If he is still in the batters box, its scored a hit batter, automatic walk. ---------- The above answer in incorrect. If the batter is hit by a pitch while swinging [Rule 6.05(e)], or if the batter is hit by a pitch on some part of the body that is in the strike zone [Rule 6.08(b)], it is a strike. The batter is not awarded 1B for being hit by the pitch in either case. It is simply a dead ball strike. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen.
The date was April 2, 1931 during an exhibition game between the Chattanooga Lookouts and New York Yankees. After striking out the Babe, who took a called strike three, she then struck out Lou Gehrig swinging.
No. Strikes stay for at least six months.
