What's the most pitches a batter can take without swinging the bat in a single at bat?
I believe the answer is 6. Either 2 balls and 3 strikes, or 3 balls and 2 strikes with the 6th pitch being a strike, a ball, a passed ball or a hit batter
I believe his question was pretty clear. What is the maximum pitches any one batter can take without swinging the bat? With the senario listed, I get a count of 11 pitches.
BR - 5 pitches (no swing)count 3-2
R1 steals and is thrown out to end inning
BR returns to bat with new count and can take 6 new pitches without swinging before he either reaches 1st or is put out.
