WHAT DOES STRIKE OUT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

strike out

Strikeout

In baseball or softball, a strikeout occurs when a batter accumulates three strikes during a time at bat. It usually means the batter is out. A strikeout is a statistic recorded for both pitchers and batters, and is denoted by K. Although a strikeout suggests that the pitcher dominated the batter, the free-swinging style that generates home runs also leaves batters susceptible to striking out. Some of the greatest home run hitters of all time — such as Reggie Jackson and Sammy Sosa — were notorious for striking out.
