Question:does it count as a hit or not an at bat
Answers:
I was just wondering when a batter steps into the batters box for the first time what is their batting average
If a batter reaches on a fielder's choice, he does not get credit for a hit, but gets charged with an at bat. Essentially, it is scored as a groundout, but it was the fielder's choice who to make the out on. It is different then, than a sac bunt, in which the batter would not be charged with an at bat. So, if a batter makes 4 plate appearances in a game and gets on base 4 times, (say 3 singles and a fielder's choice, he is 3 for 4 on the day). If he drives in a run on the fielder's choice, he gets credit for the RBI.
How many homeruns does AROD have to hit?
No it does not. Because a hit will always add a runner to the base path or cause someone to score. A fielders choice does neither of these.
Which baseball bat is better: metal or wood?
No. A fielder's choice means the fielder chose (tada!) to ignore the batter in order to attempt to throw out another runner.
A fielder's choice is never recorded as a hit.
How do you calculate an E.R.A. in baseball?
A fielders choice is just like the name implies, the fielder chooses to take a force out or put out another runner rather than the batter. The batter is charged with a time at bat and since an out occurred, the batter would be 0 for 1.

Teams Leaving MLB?
No a fielders choice means you hit the ball to fielder and have a force out situation. It means the fielder can choose where to make the out. A double play is a fielder's choice. It will hurt your batting average.
