Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p In baseball, an at bat (AB) or time at bat is a batter's turn at batting against a pitcher that is credited unless the turn ends under certain circumstances. At bats are used to calculate certain statistics, including batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. Whereas plate appearances count completed turns at batting, at bats are a subset of plate appearances. A batter does not receive credit for an at bat if their plate appearance ends under the following circumstances: He receives a base on balls (BB). He is hit by a pitch (HBP). He hits a sacrifice fly or a sacrifice hit (also known as sacrifice bunt). He is awarded first base due to interference or obstruction, usually by the catcher. The inning ends while he is still at bat (due to the third out being made by a runner caught stealing, for example). In this case, the batter will come to bat again in the next inning, though the count will be reset to no balls and no strikes. He is replaced by another hitter before his at bat is completed (unless he is replaced with two strikes and his replacement completes a strikeout).Section 10.02.a.1 of the official rules of Major League Baseball defines an at bat as:"Number of times batted, except that no time at bat shall be charged when a player: (1) hits a sacrifice bunt or sacrifice fly; (2) is awarded first base on four called balls; (3) is hit by a pitched ball; or (4) is awarded first base because of interference or obstruction...". }
