at bats
Turns to swing
At bats is the plural of at bat, a baseball term for an official turn at the plate.
A batter's at bats exclude walks, hit-by-pitches, and sacrifice plays—only plate appearances where the batter had a fair chance to get a hit.
Batting average is calculated as hits divided by at bats: He went two-for-four in his at bats last night.
