In baseball, three strikes mean the batter is out

Explanation

Three strikes result in a strikeout, one of the primary ways a batter is put out. There is an exception known as the uncaught (or dropped) third strike. If the catcher fails to catch the third strike before it touches the ground, the batter becomes a runner and may attempt to reach first base safely, provided that first base is unoccupied or there are two outs.
