4 wide ones
In baseball, “4 wide ones” refers to four consecutive pitches thrown outside the strike zone, commonly known as an intentional walk. This expression denotes that the pitcher is purposefully not throwing strikes to a specific batter. It is a common approach for avoiding a good batter. The deliberate walk allows the batter to reach first base without swinging at the pitches. This term is part of the dictionary of baseball terms and is widely used to describe this particular pitching strategy.
