currently, only teams in the National league allow their pitchers to hit. The American League uses the DH (designated hitter) to bat for their pitchers. However, the DH is a very recent amendment to the game. Even the American League pitchers used to hit. The DH was instituted in 1973.

What are at bats?
any time that you have a chance to hit the ball being pitched by the pitcher these are when you get three strikes or tries to hit the ball this is also the only time that you will be able to get on base by a hit or walk; you need good at bats to score (getting a hit is a positive at bat)
How do you hit a home run?
To hit a home run you really have to work hard. It really depends on the bat that you use to hit with. if you hit with a crappy Demorini, you will probably not hit a home run. If you hit it with a new bat or a composite in mid-condition, you have a good chance of hitting one out. You have to watch the pitchers "window". The window is where the ball is released from the hand of the pitcher. When the ball hits the window, you must start your stride towards the pitcher. Then naturally hit the ball. Hope this helps!
