If a batter hit a fly ball that was caught out but scored a RBI does it count as an at bat?
Sacrifice bunts and sacrifice flies are not officially counted as "at bats".
Does a sac fly count as a at bat?
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
If in baseball you're up at bat and you get walked with bases loaded and a run is forced in how can you get an RBI when a walk doesn't count as an 'at bat'?
It still counts as a plate appearance, and as a result of your plate appearance (bases loaded walk), a run scored. Therefore you are credited with an RBI. A sacrifice fly doesn't count as an at-bat either, but RBIs are credited. Double-plays are counted as at-bats but they disqualify RBIs. "At-bats" have absolutely nothing to do with RBIs.
Does a player get an rbi for a routine ground out?
Even if the player does not get a hit in his at bat, a run scored when he puts the ball in play will count as a run batted in. An RBI will still be given on an error provided that the potential put out would not have been the third out of the inning. A run scoring on a double play does not qualify as an RBI, however.
Does a batter get credit for an RBI on an infield ground ball when he is thrown out at first with the bases loaded and a run scores?
Yes, The Batter is counted an RBI for every run he bats in regardless of whether he was safe or not.
Why is it an at bat if the batter hits gets thrown out at first but the run scores when it is not an at bat if the batter flys out and the run scores?
This is what you call and RBI. An RBI is short for "Runners Batter In" Players compete for the highest amount of RBI's. Since batting runners in help your team win the game, the at-bat does not count against the batter. That means that they just swipe the at-bat away. The batter still receives a Plate Appearance, but not an At-Bat. Plate Appearances do not effect your batting average or any of your averages, other then your on base percentage. Think of it this way: If a player hits a fly ball and the runner tags up and scores a run, that's going to help his team win the baseball game. Same goes for a ground ball out, as long as the run gets home, the batter is not charged with getting out. It will go on the score card as a RBI Sac Fly, or just an RBI for a ground ball.
Does a sacrifice ground ball count as an at bat?
The answer is no, BB, HBP, SH and SF does not count as an official AB yes new answer: There is no such thing as a sacrifice ground ball and this would be an at-bat. The only exception is a bunt.
Is a home run an rbi?
Yes. Any time your at bat and a run scores without an error, wildpitch, or hitting into a double play it is considered and RBI.
Who has the rbi's?
anyone who can swing a bat and if theres a runner on base that gets hit in they have rbis
Does a batter who hits into a fielders choice and has an rbi get credited with an at bat or is it scored like a sacrifice?
Yes, the batter is credited with an at-bat and scored as a fielders choice.
Does a walk count as a RBI?
A walk-off RBI is when a batter in the bottom half of the last inning of the game (either the ninth or in extra innings) drives in a runner that gives his team the lead. Since the opposing team does not get to bat again (having batted in the top half of the inning) the player's team "walks off" without having made three outs. Further play is no longer necessary.
Features of RBI?
The acronym RBI stands for 'runs batted in'. This means that there is one or more baserunners when a batter hits the ball causing one of more of them to score. Any run that was a result of that at-bat counts as an RBI for the batter, whether or not the batter actually made it to first base safely.
