Unless we are counting fouls.

The three outs at the plate would not be hits, they're fielder's choice.
Yeah, I didn't really think that through. Pick offs gets you to 5 and then the hit base runner scenario assuming they score it a hit.

Why would we be counting foul balls as hits?

these aren't hits, they are fielder's choices...counts against the batting average.

I think you’re on to something with the pick offs.

Incorrect- if a batter hits a ball out of the infield without it being caught in the air, it would be a hit. If an outfielder has a put out at the plate, it’s hit and an out. Ie- L-7, 7-2.

Essentially the same as getting thrown out at the plate on the next hit.

Can we all agree it's probably 6 before this 1 post OP logs off for eternity without revealing the answer?

Fielders choice isn't a hit. Batter would be 0-1

I want to say 6.
Say a single, then a single with the runner getting thrown out going to third. One out.
Same thing, 3 singles, 2 outs, runner on.
Infield single, infield single to load the bases. 5 singles, 2 outs.
Batter hits a ball that hits a runner, he gets a single, runner is out, no runs score. 6 hits, no runs.
