A baseball scoreboard with numerals showing the count (center of the bottom row) as no balls and one strike ("oh and one")

In baseball and softball, the count refers to the number of balls and strikes the batter has. If the count reaches three strikes, the batter strikes out; if the count reaches four balls, the batter earns a base on balls (a "walk").
