if a batter hasn't taken a pitch and the third out is made is he still up the next inning

Jeff asked: If a batter hasn't taken a pitch and the third out is made, is he still up the next inning?


Rick answered: Jeff, thank you for your question.

As your situation is described, the batter at the plate when the third out was made, would leadoff the next inning.


Yours in baseball,
