if vlad comes off the bench to pinch hit today, and doesn’t get a hit (w/o walk or other safe a/b) does that count?
Yeah. If he comes off the bench to pinch-hit and makes an out that counts as an official at-bat. If he comes off the bench to pinch-hit and walks or gets hit by a pitch that wouldn’t count as an official at-bat and he’d stay 0-0.
