1. at-bat

   In baseball, an at bat (AB) or time at bat is a batter's turn batting against a pitcher. An at bat is different from a plate appearance. A batter is credited with a plate appearance regardless of what happens during their turn at bat, but a batter is credited with an at bat only if that plate appearance does not have one of the results enumerated below. While at bats are used to calculate certain statistics, including batting average and slugging percentage, a player can qualify for the season-ending rankings in these categories only if they accumulate 502 plate appearances during the season.

1. at-bat

   In baseball, an at-bat is a player's turn at batting against the pitcher. It begins when the batter steps into the batter's box and officially ends when the player hits a fair ball, strikes out, is declared out for any reason during his turn other than interference or obstruction, or is replaced by another batter before his turn is completed. Walks, hit by pitches, and sacrifices does not count as an at-bat. The measure of at-bats is used to calculate various statistics including batting average and slugging percentage.
