It?s the bottom of the ninth inning. There are two outs and no one on base. The team at bat is down by a run. The count on the batter is three balls and two strikes. It?s time to do or die.
The pitcher will try to throw a strike. Giving up a walk would put the tying run on base. The batter wants to avoid striking out and ending the game. The batter will try to make good contact with the ball in hopes of getting on base or even knocking the ball out of the park for a home run.
This situation is typical in a baseball game. To do their jobs, pitchers are trying to throw to precise spots and batters are trying to hit the ball just right. Both of these things can be very hard to do.
