Best Answer

Anytime you come to the plate and one of the following happen it is considered an official AB:

- you hit into an out

- you hit into a fielders choice

- you get a hit

- you strike out

- you reach on a fielder's error

These are times when it is not an official at bat:

- you are walked

- you are hit by a pitch

- you sacrifice

- the inning ends due to a base running out while you are at the plate

There are several other scenarios, however, i did not want to get into all the different possibilities

The batting average is the percent of times a batter gets a successful hit per official times at bat.
