Intentional walks are a strategic defensive maneuver, usually done to bypass one hitter for one the defensive team believes is less likely to initiate a run-scoring play ( e. g., a home run, sacrifice fly, or RBI base hit ), or to set up a double play or force out situation for the next batter.

This happens when a player has almost no walks or times hit by pitch, with a higher number of sacrifice flies ( e. g. if a player has 2 hits in 6 at bats plus a sacrifice fly, his batting average would be. 333, but his on-base percentage would be. 286 ).

As addressed within Rule 10. 08 ( d ) of the Official Baseball Rules, a sacrifice fly is not counted as a turn at bat for the batter, though the batter is credited with a run batted in.

The purpose of not counting a sacrifice fly as an at-bat is to avoid penalizing hitters for a successful maneuver.

The sacrifice fly is one of two instances in baseball where a batter is not charged with a time at bat after putting a ball in play ; the other is the sacrifice hit ( also known as a sacrifice bunt ).

But, while a sacrifice fly doesn't affect a player's batting average, it counts as a plate appearance and a lower on-base percentage, and a player on a hitting streak will have the hit streak end if he has no official at-bats but has a sacrifice fly.

The reason for this is that the sacrifice fly, unlike the sacrifice bunt, is not considered a tactical maneuver ( players presumably don't try to hit a fly ball to advance a runner ).
