No, a sacrifice fly does not count as an official at-bat, in order to have an at-bat scored as a sac fly though a runner must advance home safely on your fly ball

yes if you drove in a run with a hit, or fielders choice and no if you walked with bases loaded or sacrificed yourself with a fly ball or suicide squeeze you get credit for the rbi but no official at bat

RBI's are earned by:

* A successful HIT batting in a base runner.

* Getting walked with bases loaded (this is not an at-bat)

* Getting hit by pitch with bases loaded (this also is not an at-bat)

* Reaching on an error with a man on 3rd and less than 2 outs. The runner at 3rd would have scored anyway if an out was recorded. A good example is a hard hit ball to the 2nd baseman while the runner at 3rd was going on the pitch. It would have been a 4-3 putout with an RBI therefore reaching base via an E4 error does create an RBI and counts as an at-bat.

No, a successful sacrifice bunt does not count as an at bat. If the bunt is unsuccessful, the batter is charged with an at bat. Similarly, if the batter beats out the play and is awarded a hit, an at bat is counted. Sacrifice flies, walks, and getting hit by pitch also do not count as at bats. All of these are recorded as Plate Appearances.

According to MLB rule 10.01.a.1 only a sacrifice bunt or fly out does not count as an at-bat. A ground out counts a an at-bat
