I read in the original Bill James Historical Abstract that Roy Thomas once fouled off 22 pitches. The legend has it that on one occasion, Luke Appling fouled off 17 straight pitches before hitting a triple. The story goes on to say that he did it to get even with a team owner who wouldn't give him a box of baseballs to pass out to the fans.

What is the number of foul balls hit by one player in one time at bat?

In baseball, there is no specific limit to the number of foul balls a player can hit during a single at-bat. A player can continue to hit foul balls until they either make a fair hit, strike out, or reach the maximum number of strikes allowed. However, if a player hits a foul ball with two strikes, the at-bat continues without penalty.


Is foul ball counted as a strike?

It depends on how the game is being played. Most of the time, foul balls don't count as a strike; you can hit a ton of foul balls while you're up to bat and it won't matter. If you're playing a strict game of baseball, though, if you go up to bat and hit two foul balls, they count as strikes. Then, if you miss the ball or whatever, that would be your third strike. And you're out. :) Foul balls count as strikes when every the batter does not have two strikes, once a batter gets two strikes foul balls are no longer counted as strikes.

In softball, there is no limit to the number of foul balls a batter can hit in an at-bat. A player can continue to foul off pitches until they either hit a fair ball or strike out, as long as they do not foul a third strike.
