In baseball and softball, a strikeout happens when a batter gets three strikes, resulting in an out unless the catcher doesn't catch the third strike, allowing the batter to reach first base safely. It's a recorded statistic for both pitchers and batters, typically represented by the letter K or the initialism SO. A 'strikeout looking,' where the batter doesn't swing and the umpire calls the third strike, can be denoted by an inverted K.
