To count the game in pitch, you can keep track of the number of strikes and balls thrown by the pitcher. Strikes are pitches that the batter swings at and misses or that are called strikes by the umpire. Balls are pitches that are outside the strike zone and not swung at by the batter. The count starts at 0-0 and can go up to 3-2, with the first number representing the number of balls and the second number representing the number of strikes.
