called strike
Watched pitch, out
A called strike in baseball is a pitch that crosses the strike zone without the batter swinging, ruled a strike by the umpire.
The "called" distinguishes it from a swinging strike—the batter stood there and watched it go by.
He took a called strike on the outside corner.
A called strike three, ending the at-bat without a swing, often draws criticism from batters who disagree with the call.
