full count
Batter's maximum pressure
A full count in baseball is when the batter has three balls and two strikes—the maximum of each before the at-bat must end.
The next pitch results in either a walk, a strikeout, or the ball being put in play.
The pitcher went to a full count before striking him out.
The tension of a full count makes it a dramatic moment in the game.
