In the sports of baseball and softball,a batted ball is a pitch that has been contacted by the batter's bat. Depending on where the ball lands,a batted ball can become either a fair ball or a foul ball. If a batted ball is a fair ball,fielders attempt to get the batter out. A foul ball is assessed as a strike unless the batter has already accumulated two strikes,in which case the number of strikes does not increase. Batted balls are also classified by their trajectory. The most common of these trajectory-based classifications are fly balls,line drives,and ground balls.
