There are 2 outs in an inning. A runner is on first. A batter is up with a full count (or any count) and a pick off happens at first ending the inning, who is up in the next inning?

Second, can you call for a pinch hitter halfway through a batters at bat where the pinch hitter will inherit the count of the previous hitter?

Things I feel like I should know but I never actually see this happen (or remember the outcome).

The same batter is up, with a fresh count. A caught stealing is the same thing.

Yes, you can pinch hit at any time during an at-bat and the pinch hitter will inherit the same count.

The guy batting leads off the next inning with a 0-0 count.

And if the other team puts in a relief pitcher in the middle of an at-bat they inherit the same count too.

Pickoff's and stealing with 2 outs is pretty rare I guess since I dont remember instances of this happening. (May just not have noticed though)

I have seen injury to a batter where a pinch hitter has inherited the count. Just have never seen a non-injury sub.

Thanks for the knowledge.

If not, you'd see a lot of pinch hitters late in games when there's an 0-2 count.

I was more thinking that if you were able to call in a pinch hitter with non injury. Not be able to reset the count by calling one in.

Happens a lot more than you think. You really just don't notice it.

Pretty sure this is the case.


Also, didnt mean to say that it is rare as much as I dont remember the result of the next inning.


Nothing like putting your ignorance of something on a board for all to see! But now I know.

Probably the most common time to steal second. Cmon man.
