In common terminology, the term "at bat" is sometimes used to mean "plate appearance" (for example, "he fouled off the ball to keep the at bat alive"). The intent is usually clear from the context, although the term "official at bat" is sometimes used to explicitly refer to an at bat as distinguished from a plate appearance.  5, record 1, English, - plate%20appearance

A batter has an at bat every time he faces a pitcher, except in the following circumstances : He receives a base on balls(BB). He is hit by a pitch(HBP). He hits a sacrifice fly or a sacrifice hit(also known as sacrifice bunt). He is awarded first base due to interference or obstruction, usually by the catcher. The inning ends while he is still at bat(due to the third out being made by a runner caught stealing, for example). In this case, the batter will come to bat again in the next inning, though he now has no balls or strikes on him. He is replaced by another hitter before his at bat is completed(unless he is replaced with two strikes and his replacement strikes out).  1, record 2, English, - at%20bat

... "At bat," "up," "up at bat," and "at the plate" are all [expressions] describing a batter who is facing the pitcher. Note that just because a player is described as being "at bat" in this sense, he will not necessarily be given an at bat in his statistics; the phrase actually signifies a plate appearance (assuming it is eventually completed). This ambiguous terminology is usually clarified by context. To refer explicitly to the technical meaning of "at bat" described above, the term "official at bat" is sometimes used.  1, record 2, English, - at%20bat

Présence officielle au bâton. Pour qu'un frappeur soit crédité d'une présence officielle, une des situations ne doit pas survenir: but sur balles, atteint d'un tir, sacrifice (par un amorti ou un ballon), obstruction (du receveur, habituellement), la manche prend fin pendant la présence (un coureur est retiré), le frappeur est remplacé par un autre frappeur (si le compte montre deux prises et que le substitut est retiré sur 3 prises, le premier frappeur hérite du retrait). On calcule donc le nombre de présences totales ainsi: (présences officielles + buts sur balles + atteint d'un tir + obstruction défensive + coups sacrifices + ballons sacrifices).  4, record 2, French, - pr%C3%A9sence%20officielle%20au%20b%C3%A2ton
