In baseball, a "payoff pitch" refers to a crucial moment in an at-bat where the count is full (3 balls and 2 strikes). It is a pivotal moment because the next pitch will determine the outcome of the at-bat. The pitcher needs to make a good pitch to try and get the batter out, while the batter is looking to make solid contact to get on base or score runs. The outcome of a payoff pitch can greatly impact the game by either ending the at-bat with an out or allowing the batter to reach base, potentially changing the course of the game.
