They are included.
The strike zone
Assuming you mean in baseball: The number of pitches in the strike zone versus the number of pitches outside the strike zone.
SIERA stands for the Skill Interactive Earned Run Average. It is used to caculate the statistics of baseball pitchers. It gives an estimate of the ERA bby calculating the walk, strike out, and ground ball rate.
I don"t get your logic . Midgets would be at a real handicap in baseball, where they have pitchers. a certain minimum height is necessary to be in the strike zone for incoming pitches in order to hit them. There have been midget girls in Carnivals, circuses and so on, but not athletic acts,. they would be at a serious default/
the pitchers who were best able to induce swings at balls in the dirt
The batter missed three pitches. 3 strikes=your out
The mound allows pitchers a much better chance of pitching within the strike zone.
every single pitch that is not called as a strike.
BB stands for base on balls, also known as a walk. SO means strike out
lucky strike
Great question. The pitchers command means that his pitches are doing what he wants them to do. If his intent is to throw a curve ball, then the ball will curve. The pitcher has control when the pitches he throws are staying in the strike zone like he wants. If he wants to throw a ball, then he is throwing balls. your curveball can curve, your breaking ball can break, your slider will slide, and your fastball is fast.... however if you can't get it over the plate ( or reasonably within range), you have no control.
Actually, a ball doesn't only last six pitches. If the batter has 3 balls, and 2 strikes, he can keep fouling the ball out as much as he wants to. This means that a ball can last much longer than six pitches, since fouling out counts as a strike, but only up to the second strike, so a ball can virtually last forever.
