6. Probability in Actual Game
Baseball probabilities are different from a board game probability.
Probabilities in baseball depend on matchups.
However there is an average probability for each outcome.
A ball player will have a ⅓ chance or 33.3% chance of getting a hit.
⅔ times or 66.7% of the time the pitcher will win the battle.
Probability is in favor of the pitcher but a batter that gets 1 hit in every 3 at-bats is considered a Hall of Famer at end of career.
