• strike- when the batter either swings and misses or hits a foul ball within the first 2 strikes (3 strikes then out)
• ball- when the pitcher pitches a ball outside the strike zone (4 balls then walk)
• strike zone- the area where the ball has to be pitched
• walk- when the batter gets 4 balls they get to go to 1st base
