What is a bad pitch called in baseball?
In baseball, a bad pitch is called a ball. A ball is a pitch that is outside the strike zone, which is the area above home plate between the batter's shoulders and knees. The strike zone is wider than home plate, and it varies depending on the batter's stance and the umpire's judgment.
A ball can be either a called ball or a swinging ball. A called ball is a pitch that the umpire calls a ball without the batter swinging at it. A swinging ball is a pitch that the batter swings at and misses.
If a batter is called out on a third strike, the third strike can be either a called ball or a swinging ball. If the third strike is a called ball, the batter is called out on strikes. If the third strike is a swinging ball, the batter is called out on a swinging strike.
