What is the official ruling a walk or a hit by pitch if a batter in an MLB game is hit by a pitch on a 3 2 count

In Major League Baseball (MLB), when a batter is hit by a pitch with a 3-2 count, the official ruling is a hit by pitch (HBP). This is because the batter has already taken three balls and the pitcher has thrown two strikes, meaning the batter is considered to have "walked" on four pitches.

A walk is awarded to a batter if the pitcher throws four balls outside the strike zone, even if the batter does not swing at any of the pitches. A hit by pitch is awarded if the pitcher throws a pitch that hits the batter, regardless of the count.

In the case of a 3-2 count, the batter is considered to have walked before being hit by the pitch. Therefore, the official ruling is a hit by pitch, and the batter is awarded first base.

What is the penalty if the pitcher intentionally hits a batter? Intentionally hitting a batter is a violation of the rules and can result in the pitcher being ejected from the game and/or suspended.
Can a batter be hit by a pitch on a 0-2 count? Yes, a batter can be hit by a pitch on any count, including 0-2.
Does the batter have to be in the batter's box to be hit by a pitch? No, the batter does not have to be in the batter's box to be hit by a pitch.
What is the difference between a hit by pitch and a walk? A hit by pitch is awarded when the batter is hit by a pitch, regardless of the count. A walk is awarded when the pitcher throws four balls outside the strike zone, even if the batter does not swing at any of the pitches.
What is the advantage of having a high walk count? A high walk count can give the batter more opportunities to reach base, which can lead to more runs being scored.
