batting order resets per inning?

[kickureface]

do they?
like leadoff, 2nd and 3rd hit and after that say its 3 strikeouts.

new inning does the #4 go to bat or does it go back to leadoff?

[Amazinz]

No, batting order does not reset during a game.

how is it that some people end up AB 4 times in boxscores but others AB 1 time? doesnt seem to go through the full sequence then.

You're really new to the sport? There are a number of situations where a batter won't be credited with an AB. The two main ones are Base on Balls (Walks) and Sacrifices. Each of these count as a Plate Appearance but not an At Bat. If you have a batter get no hits but walked twice his line would be 0-for-2. Another situation where it might seem to be out of sequence is when there is a pinch hitter or a substitution.

thannks
yes i am completely new.

that 0-2 situation would be what stat? not BA right?

[Amazinz]

It would be 0 (zero) Hits for 2 At Bats but 4 Plate Appearances.
