What does strikeout mean?
A strikeout is a baseball statistic that occurs when a batter reaches three strikes and is out. In writing, a strikeout is a line or symbol used to indicate text that has been deleted or crossed out.
Example
"The pitcher threw a strikeout to end the inning, and the batter walked off the field with his head hung low."
