In baseball, being hit by a pitch refers to the batter being hit in some part of the body by a pitch from the pitcher. In baseball statistics, hit by pitch (HBP) records the number of times a batter is awarded first base by virtue of being hit by a pitched ball. In pitching statistics, HB records the number of times that a pitcher has had opposing batters be awarded first base due to being hit by a pitch. For this latter usage, the terms hit batsman or hit batter are used (one of a very few places in baseball where the term "batsman" is used in place of "batter"). A batter is not charged with a time at bat if he is hit by a pitch, but he is credited with an RBI if he is hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, thus forcing in a run.
