[from answers to correspondents] If a batter strike three times at the ball and fails to hit it, but on the third strike the ball passes the catcher, or the catcher throws wild to first, or gets someone else out at second or third, is the striker scored as struck out? ... The batsman who is put out in any way on three strikes, either by the catcher or throw to first, is recorded as struck out. In the latter case the catcher is credited with an assist, and the first-baseman with an out.
