A pitcher can throw three of these to get a batter out:
1. **E. Strike** - If the batter does not swing and the pitch is within the strike zone, it's called a strike.
2. **I. Foul Ball** - If a batter hits a ball that goes foul (and it’s the first two strikes), it doesn’t count as an out on its own but can lead to a strikeout situation.
3. **A. Pick Off** - This is when the pitcher attempts to get a baserunner out, usually by throwing to a base (often first) while they are leading off.
However, the best three overall options specifically related to getting a batter out are **E. Strike**, **F. Ball** (if it's a third strike call), and potentially **A. Pick off** or **I. Foul Ball** depending on the context. But if focusing solely on getting a batter directly out, choices can sometimes be subjective.
So primarily, think of **E. Strike**, and if there's a third strike or a catch of a foul ball that is not caught.
