batting
Hitting at plate
Batting is the fibrous material used as filling or padding in quilts, sleeping bags, and upholstery—usually cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers layered into sheets.
In cricket and baseball, batting is the act of using a bat to hit the ball, or the skill involved: Their batting fell apart in the late innings.
A batting average measures a hitter's success rate.
