A batter may also strike out by bunting, even if the ball is hit into foul territory. </p><p>A pitcher receives credit for (and a batter is charged with) a strikeout on any third strike, but a batter is <a href="/wiki/Out_(baseball)" title="Out (baseball)">out</a> only if one of the following is true: </p> <ol><li>The third strike is pitched and caught in flight by the catcher (including foul tips);</li> <li>On any third strike, if a <a href="/wiki/Baserunning" class="mw-redirect" title="Baserunning">baserunner</a> is on <a href="/wiki/First_base" class="mw-redirect" title="First base">first</a> and there are at most 1 out;</li> <li>The third strike is <a href="/wiki/Bunt_(baseball)" title="Bunt (baseball)">bunted</a> foul and is not caught by a fielder.</li></ol> <p>Thus, it is possible for a batter to strike out, but still become a runner and reach base safely if the <a href="/wiki/Catcher" title="Catcher">catcher</a> is unable to catch the third strike cleanly, and he then does not either tag out the batter or <a href="/wiki/Force_play" title="Force play">force</a> him out at first base. In Japan, this is called <i>furinige</i><span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">振り逃げ</span></span>)</span>, or "swing and escape". In Major League Baseball, it is known as an <a href="/wiki/Uncaught_third_strike" title="Uncaught third strike">uncaught third strike</a>. When this happens, a strikeout is recorded for both the pitcher and the batter, but no out is recorded. Because of this, a pitcher may occasionally be able to record more than three strikeouts in one <a href="/wiki/Inning" title="Inning">inning</a>. </p><p>It is also possible for a strikeout to result in a <a href="/wiki/Fielder%27s_choice" title="Fielder's choice">fielder's choice</a>. With the bases loaded and two strikes with two outs, the catcher drops the ball or catches it on the bounce. The batter-runner is obliged to run for first base and other base-runners are obliged to attempt to advance one base. Should the catcher field the ball and step on home plate before the runner from third base can score, then the runner from third base is forced out. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Baseball_scorekeeping" title="Baseball scorekeeping">baseball scorekeeping</a>, a swinging strikeout is recorded as a K or a <b>K-S</b>. A strikeout looking (where the batter does not swing at a pitch that the umpire then calls strike three) is often scored with a backwards K (<b>Ʞ</b>), and sometimes as a <b>K-L</b>, <b>CK</b>, or <b>Kc</b> (the 'c' for 'called' strike). In terms of gameplay, swinging and looking strikeouts are exactly equivalent; the difference in notation is simply to record this aspect of the time at bat. Despite the scorekeeping custom of using "K" for strikeout, "SO" is the official abbreviation used by Major League Baseball.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>"K" is still commonly used by fans and enthusiasts for purposes other than official record-keeping. One baseball ritual involves fans attaching a succession of small "K" signs to the nearest railing, one added for every strikeout notched by the home team's pitcher, following a tradition started by <a href="/wiki/New_York_Mets" title="New York Mets">New York Mets</a> fans in honor of "Dr. K", <a href="/wiki/Dwight_Gooden" title="Dwight Gooden">Dwight Gooden</a>. The "K" may be placed upside down (<b>Ʞ</b>) in cases where the batter strikes out looking, just as it would appear on a scorecard. Virtually every televised display of a high-strikeout major league game will include a shot of a fan's strikeout display, and if the pitcher continues to strike out batters, the display may be shown following every strikeout. </p><p>The use of "K" for a strikeout was invented by <a href="/wiki/Henry_Chadwick_(writer)" title="Henry Chadwick (writer)">Henry Chadwick</a>, a newspaper journalist who is widely credited as the originator of the <a href="/wiki/Box_score" title="Box score">box score</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Baseball_scorekeeping" title="Baseball scorekeeping">baseball scorecard</a>. As is true in much of baseball, both the box score and scorecard remain largely unchanged to this day. Chadwick decided to use "K", the last letter in "struck", since the letter "S" was used for "sacrifice". Chadwick was responsible for several other scorekeeping conventions, including the use of numbers to designate player positions.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Those unaware of Chadwick's contributions have speculated that "K" was derived from the last name of 19th-century pitcher <a href="/wiki/Matt_Kilroy" title="Matt Kilroy">Matt Kilroy</a>. If not for the evidence supporting Chadwick's earlier use of "K", this explanation would be reasonable. Kilroy raised the prominence of the strikeout, setting an all-time single-season record of 513 strikeouts in 1886, only two years after overhand pitching was permitted. His record, however, is limited to its era since the pitcher's mound was only 50 feet (15 m) from the batter during that season. It was moved to its current distance of 60'6" in 1893. The modern record (1901–present) is 383 strikeouts, held by <a href="/wiki/Nolan_Ryan" title="Nolan Ryan">Nolan Ryan</a>, one better than <a href="/wiki/Sandy_Koufax" title="Sandy Koufax">Sandy Koufax</a>'s 382. </p><p>For 55 years, <a href="/wiki/Walter_Johnson" title="Walter Johnson">Walter Johnson</a> held the career strikeout record, at 3,508. That record fell in 1982 to Nolan Ryan, who was then passed by <a href="/wiki/Steve_Carlton" title="Steve Carlton">Steve Carlton</a>, before Ryan took the career strikeout record for good at 5,714. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Strikeout&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Early rules stated that "three balls being struck at and missed and the last one caught, is a hand-out; if not caught is considered fair, and the striker bound to run." The modern rule has changed very little. The addition of the called strike came in 1858. </p><p>In 1880, the rules were changed to specify that a third strike had to be caught on the fly. A later adjustment to the dropped third strike rule specified that a batter is automatically out when there are fewer than two out and a runner on first base. In 1887, the number of strikes for an out was changed to four, but it was promptly changed back to three the next season. </p><p>The rule that a third strike (only) must be caught originates in the concept that a third strike is not an automatic out, but rather puts the ball in play. The rule was described at least as early as <a href="/wiki/Johann_Christoph_Friedrich_GutsMuths" title="Johann Christoph Friedrich GutsMuths">Johann Christoph Friedrich GutsMuths</a>' 1793 book <span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Gymnastik für die Jugend</i></span> (Gymnastics for Youth) and has remained in effect since. After the third strike, the ball being in play, the batter (now a runner) must be put out. This is almost always done immediately after the strike is made, by the catcher (putouts on strikeouts are still credited to the catcher),<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but if the ball is not caught on the fly by the catcher, the batter/runner must be put out by the same means as any other runner who puts a ball in play which is not caught on the fly—by soaking (hitting the runner with a ball thrown by a fielder, now long obsolete), or by being tagged out, or by leaving the baseline, or by <a href="/wiki/Force_out" class="mw-redirect" title="Force out">force out</a> at first base.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Slang">Slang</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Strikeout&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Slang"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sandy_Koufax.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Sandy_Koufax.jpg/180px-Sandy_Koufax.jpg" decoding="async" width="180" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Sandy_Koufax.jpg/270px-Sandy_Koufax.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Sandy_Koufax.jpg/360px-Sandy_Koufax.jpg 2x" data-file-width="961" data-file-height="1213" /></a><figcaption>Hall of Famer <a href="/wiki/Sandy_Koufax" title="Sandy Koufax">Sandy Koufax</a> was the first notable strikeout pitcher and the first to average more than a strikeout per inning pitched.</figcaption></figure> <p>A swinging strikeout is often called a <i><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_baseball_terms#whiff" title="Glossary of baseball terms">whiff</a></i>, while a batter who is struck out by a <a href="/wiki/Fastball" title="Fastball">fastball</a> is often said to have been <i>blown away</i>. A batter who strikes out on a swung third strike is said to have <i>fanned</i> (as in a fanning motion), whereas if he takes a called third strike it is called a <i><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_baseball_terms#punch_out" title="Glossary of baseball terms">punch out</a></i> (describing the plate umpire's dramatic punching motion on a called third strike). However, sometimes these words are used as general synonyms for a strikeout, irrespective of whether it was swinging or looking. The announcer <a href="/wiki/Ernie_Harwell" title="Ernie Harwell">Ernie Harwell</a> called a batter who took a called third strike, usually on the other team, "out for excessive window-shopping" or having "stood like the house by the side of the road". </p><p>On a called third strike, it is said that the batter was <i>caught looking</i>, or that he looked at a strike. Typically, a called third strike can be somewhat more embarrassing for a batter, as it shows that he was either fooled by the pitcher or, even worse, had a moment of hesitation. </p><p>For example, <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Beltr%C3%A1n" title="Carlos Beltrán">Carlos Beltrán</a> was caught looking at strike 3 to end the <a href="/wiki/2006_National_League_Championship_Series" title="2006 National League Championship Series">2006 NLCS</a>, and the season, for the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Mets" title="New York Mets">New York Mets</a>. Sports commentators have also been known to refer to it as <i><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_baseball_terms#browsing" title="Glossary of baseball terms">browsing</a></i> if the batter did not move his bat at all. </p><p>A pitcher is said to <i><a href="/wiki/Striking_out_the_side" title="Striking out the side">striking out the side</a></i> when he retires all three batters in a half-inning by striking them out. This term is also used when all three outs were caused by strikeouts, regardless of how other batters in the inning fared. If a pitcher strikes out three batters on nine pitches, he is said to have pitched an <i><a href="/wiki/Immaculate_inning" class="mw-redirect" title="Immaculate inning">immaculate inning</a></i>. A batter that takes the third strike looking, especially on a breaking pitch like a slider or a curveball that appears to be out of the strike zone but drops in before he can get the bat off his shoulders, can be said to have been <i>frozen</i>. </p><p>In slang, when a batter strikes out three times in a game, he is said to have completed a <i><a href="/wiki/Hat-trick#Baseball" title="Hat-trick">hat trick</a></i>. If he strikes out four times, it is called a <i><a href="/wiki/Golden_sombrero" title="Golden sombrero">golden sombrero</a></i>. He receives a <i><a href="/wiki/Platinum_sombrero" class="mw-redirect" title="Platinum sombrero">platinum sombrero</a></i> if he strikes out five times, and this dishonor is also known as the <i><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_baseball_terms#Olympic_rings" title="Glossary of baseball terms">Olympic rings</a></i>. </p><p>Striking out six times is a rare occurrence, which in the history of major league play has only occurred in games that went to <a href="/wiki/Extra_innings" title="Extra innings">extra innings</a>, with <a href="/wiki/Sam_Horn" title="Sam Horn">Sam Horn</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Baltimore_Orioles" title="Baltimore Orioles">Baltimore Orioles</a> being one of the few to do this.
