    Actually I should not have said "official at-bat" This term is reserved for calculating statistics such as batting average.

    I should have said one at bat. MLB baseball official rule # 6.04 states:

    6.04
    A batter has legally completed his time at bat when he is put out or becomes a runner.

    Since he was neither put out or became a runner in his first plate appearence, he is continuing the same at bat when he gets up to lead off the next inning with the count starting over again.

    • I'll somewhat go along with that. The Note for Rule 6.01(b) doesn't really say if it is the same at bat or not.
